6. âSocial and economic conditions and their
effects on peopleâs lives determine their risk
of illness and the actions taken to prevent
them from becoming ill or treat illness with it
occurs. Within countries, the evidence shows
that in general the lower an individualâs
socioeconomic position the worse their
health. This is a global phenomenon.â
november 3 2010 6
7. â˘âŻ Concerns about the affordability of health care, with an
ever expanding menu of newer drugs and procedures,
are near universal, whether driven by the demands of an
ageing population and increasing chronic diseases, by
the persistence of infectious diseases and maternal,
newborn, and child health conditions, or by challenges
that have emerged since 1978, such as HIV/AIDS.
â˘âŻ The current crisis in health, with increasing demand,
rising costs, and a return towards curative and
hospital care, makes re-exploration of the Alma-Ata
principles timely and relevant.â
november 3 2010 â˘âŻ Lawn 2008 Lancet

8. Values of Alma-Ata
â˘âŻ Equity, social justice, and health for all
â˘âŻ Community participation
â˘âŻ Health promotion
â˘âŻ Appropriate use of resources
â˘âŻ Intersectoral action

9. Health policy today
â˘âŻ âHealth is a universal aspiration and basic human
need. The development of society , rich or poor,
can be judged by the quality of its populationâs
health, how fairly distributed across the social
spectrum and the degree of protection provided
from disadvantage due to ill health. Health
equity is central to this premiseâ
Marmot 2007. Lancet 370:1153
november 3 2010 9
13. Rationale for the benefits for
primary care for health
1.⯠Greater access to needed services,
2.⯠Better quality of care,
3.⯠A greater focus on prevention,
4.⯠Early management of health problems,
5.⯠The cumulative effect of the main primary
care delivery characteristics [5Cs]
6.⯠Reducing unnecessary and potentially
harmful specialist care.
november 3 2010 13
15. Integrating primary care and public health
â˘âŻ Better alignment of a public-health
approach with personal health services will
achieve a better balance, but the balance
since Alma-Ata has tilted towards personal
health care at the expense of population
health
â˘âŻ van Weel 2008 Lancet
november 3 2010 15
16. â˘âŻ It is time to integrate personal health care
and public health, and organise primary
care on the principle of care for individuals
in the context of an identified population
over time.
â˘âŻ The future of primary care, and health
care in general, will depend on how
effectively primary practices achieve
this community-oriented primary care
approach and contribute to equity and
social cohesion

21. Phase 2 The market reforms
â˘âŻ Reduced investment from the central
government;
â˘âŻ Increased local funding responsibility
(through local taxation)>greater inequities;
â˘âŻ Privatization of health facilities;
â˘âŻ Introduced price regulation system and
modified salary system for health
professionals;
â˘âŻ Cooperative Medical System (primary care)
dismantled with loss of universal coverage ;
â˘âŻ Decentralized the public health system and
subsequent deterioration eg of immunisations
november 3 2010 21
22. Impact of market Reforms
â˘âŻ Increased inequity rural:urban health status
â˘âŻ Decreased access to services ,with diminished
government power to intervene
â˘âŻ Price regulation unintentionally increased sale of high
tech interventions/expensive drugs in its attempts to
control salaries etc
â˘âŻ Dismantling communes destroyed bare foot doctors
system and removed rural safety net.As a result primary
care in the community was decimated
â˘âŻ
â˘âŻ Public Health system less effective

The overall objective is to establish a basic

urban people, as well as to provide safe,
effective, convenient and affordable health
services to all people.

30. Why ?
â˘âŻ Politics of change
â˘âŻ Costs escalating
â˘âŻ SARS showed the deficiencies in the
public health system
â˘âŻ Increasing affluence spread unevenly
across the country >potential for social
unrest

36. Public Health Reforms
Strengthening the establishment of the public health
service system:
ď§âŻ build up sound public health networks of
ď§âŻdisease prevention,
ď§âŻhealth education,
ď§âŻmaternal and child health care,
ď§âŻmental health,
ď§âŻfirst aid,
ď§âŻblood collection and supply,

37. Observation
â˘âŻ Language is confusing
â˘âŻ Much of what is labeled public health can
be regarded as primary care
â˘âŻ Those providing primary care have public
health responsibilities
â˘âŻ Therefore Van Weels terminology /concept
is more helpful to achieve healthcare
reform ; community-oriented primary care
approach
november 3 2010 37
39. Market based Primary care in Hong Kong
â˘âŻ Fragmented
â˘âŻ Uncoordinated
â˘âŻ Mainly out of pocket
â˘âŻ No clear clinical standards
â˘âŻ Doctor shopping
â˘âŻ Generalist /specialist issues
â˘âŻ No register of primary care practitioners
â˘âŻ No comprehensive data system
november 3 2010 39
40. Hong Kong Primary Care :
the reform challenge
â˘âŻ Participants who did not currently have a family
doctor and were mainly of lower socioeconomic
status than those with a family doctor saw a
family doctor as something of a âluxury itemâ for
the wealthy and not within the financial reach of
the bulk of the population in Hong Kong.
â˘âŻ There is a need to make primary care
acceptable, accessible, and affordable to all,
especially those in need.
november 3 2010 40
(Source: Mercer et al., BMC Public Health 2010)
41. Way forward: enhance primary care
â˘âŻ New funding mechanisms
â˘âŻ Promote the family doctor concept which emphasizes
continuity of care, holistic care and preventive care.
â⯠register
â˘âŻ Put greater emphasis on prevention of diseases and
illnesses through public education and through family doctors.
-guidelines
â˘âŻ Encourage and facilitate medical professionals to collaborate
with other professionals to provide coordinated services.
-⯠new models of care
november 3 2010 41
42. CUHK response
â˘âŻ Build on SARS report
â˘âŻ Increase the profile and capacity of public
health
â˘âŻ Increase the profile and capacity of
primary care
â˘âŻ Create an integrated approach âcombining

44. The challenges of public health education with a particular
reference to China
S.M. Griffiths L.M. Li , J.L. Tang , X. Ma, Y.H. Hu, Q.Y. Meng H. Fu
in many countries,traditional public health methods targeted at
individuals, such as vaccination and child and maternal care,
have been successfully relocated into the clinical sector,
most often primary care or general practice. Such individual
public health approaches to prevention are too important to be
neglected.
Although, in essence an individual approach, primary care
is where much of clinical medicine and many public health
practices meet, and recognition of this interface is extremely important
for building a seamless framework for improving the health of the
population.
november 3 2010 44
45. â˘âŻ The future of primary care, and health care
in general, will depend on how effectively
primary practices achieve this community-
oriented primary care approach and
contribute to equity and social cohesion
