Argues for the implementation of Primary Health Care, emphasizing equity, participation and the prevention of disease, to supplement or replace the current concentration on medico-technical intervention Health care systems in most countries around the world are under increasing strain, with soaring costs and expanding or aging populations. Serious doubts are being raised about the effectiveness of current medical organizations and systems. This book advocates Primary Health Care (PHC), an approach which is radically different from the top-down, orthodox medical method. Launched at the Alma Ata conference in 1978, PHC is already applied in a number of Third World countries. John Macdonald argues that PHC is needed everywhere.
