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:
-
Reducing exclusion and social disparities in health (universal coverage reforms)
-
Organizing health services around people's needs and expectations (service delivery reforms)
-
Integrating health into all sectors (public policy reforms)
-
Pursuing collaborative models of policy dialogue (leadership reforms)

Increasing stakeholder participation
