Introduction

Primary health care has emerged as the leading strategy for meeting needs in developing countries. It offers the possibility of good access to the most cost- effective forms of intervention, even in the poorest countries. The term “Primary health Care” in part replaces the earlier term “basic health services” but is a much wider concept. The ideas for much of the new model of care are derived from an assessment of community health needs. The approach places emphasis on several activities that are not physician-centered, such as health education, preventive activities, family health care (including family planning), and use of indigenous health workers. Primary health care includes following elements (1) Community participation, (2) Universal coverage and accessibility, (3) Appropriate health technology, and (4) Care by community health workers or by traditional health workers.
