Managing primary health care in developing countries
Abstract
The continuing challenge for health professionals engaged in international health activities is to encourage essential changes in policy and process in order to meet the objectives of ‘Health for All by the Year 2000’, by way of the primary health care (PHC) approach, as laid down by the World Health Organization in 1978. Achievement of the long‐term goals will largely depend on the extent of the immediate commitment to those primary health care management considerations which reflect the expressed health needs of the community and which accommodate and support methods by which those needs can be met appropriately.
