Primary Health Care

The ultimate goal of primary health care is better health for all. WHO has identified five key elements to achieving that goal:

1.     Reducing exclusion and social disparities in health (universal coverage reforms)
   

2.     Organizing health services around people's needs and expectations (service delivery reforms)
   

3.     Integrating health into all sectors (public policy reforms)
   

4.     Pursuing collaborative models of policy dialogue (leadership reforms)
   

5.     Increasing stakeholder participation
