Primary
Care
Primary health care is an integral part of a country's health maintenance
system, of which it forms the largest and most important part. As
described in the declaration of Alma-Ata, primary health care should
be "based on practical, scientifically sound and socially acceptable
methods and technology made universally accessible to individuals
and families in the community through their full participation and
at a cost that the community and country can afford to maintain at
every stage of their development."
