📚 Primary Health Care - From Park's Textbook of Preventive & Social Medicine
1. DEFINITION OF PHC (Park's, p. 30)
"Essential health care 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 the country can afford to maintain at every stage of their development in the spirit of self-determination."
2. ALMA ATA DECLARATION (Park's, p. 30)
| Detail | Fact |
|---|---|
| Year | 1978 |
| Place | Alma-Ata, USSR (now Kazakhstan) |
| Organized by | Joint WHO-UNICEF International Conference |
| Countries participated | 134 governments + voluntary agencies |
| Slogan | "Health for All by 2000 A.D." |
| Key declaration | PHC is the key to achieving "Health for All" |
The conference declared: "The existing gross inequality in the health status of people particularly between developed and developing countries as well as within countries is politically, socially and economically unacceptable."
3. PRINCIPLES OF PHC (Park's, p. 30)
The PHC approach is based on:
- Social equity - health for all, no discrimination
- Nation-wide coverage - accessible to everyone
- Self-reliance - community and country sustain it
- Intersectoral coordination - multiple sectors work together
- People's involvement - in planning and implementation
PHC is also described as: "Health by the people" and "placing people's health in people's hands"
4. EIGHT COMPONENTS OF PHC - "SANE SMEW" (Park's, p. 30)
As stated in the Alma-Ata Declaration:
| # | Component |
|---|---|
| 1 | S - Safe water supply and basic sanitation |
| 2 | A - Adequate nutrition / food supply |
| 3 | N - Nutrition (promotion of food supply and proper nutrition) |
| 4 | E - Education about prevailing health problems |
| 5 | S - MCH care including family planning |
| 6 | M - Maternal and child health, immunization against major infectious diseases |
| 7 | E - Endemic disease prevention and control |
| 8 | W - Treatment of common diseases and injuries + provision of essential drugs |
Simple list (as per Park's):
- Education about health problems and methods of prevention
- Promotion of food supply and proper nutrition
- Adequate supply of safe water and basic sanitation
- Maternal and child health care, including family planning
- Immunization against major infectious diseases
- Prevention and control of endemic diseases

5. LEVELS OF PREVENTION (Park's, p. 52)
Park's defines 4 levels of prevention:
1. Primordial Prevention
- Definition: Prevention of emergence or development of risk factors in populations where they have not yet appeared
- Focus: Discouraging children from adopting harmful lifestyles (smoking, poor diet)
- Main tool: Individual and mass education
- Example: Preventing obesity/hypertension by teaching healthy habits in childhood
2. Primary Prevention
- Definition (Park's): "Action taken prior to the onset of disease, which removes the possibility that a disease will ever occur"
- Phase: Pre-pathogenesis phase
- Interventions: Health promotion + specific protection
- Examples: Vaccination, sanitation, hand washing, water treatment
- Two approaches:
- Population (mass) strategy - directed at whole population
- High-risk strategy - targets individuals at special risk
3. Secondary Prevention
- Definition (Park's): "Action which halts the progress of a disease at its incipient stage and prevents complications"
- Interventions: Early diagnosis (screening, case finding) + adequate treatment
- Examples: Cancer screening, TB case detection, blood sugar testing
4. Tertiary Prevention
- Focus: Rehabilitation - limiting disability, restoring function
- Examples: Physiotherapy after stroke, prosthetics, vocational rehabilitation
6. HEALTH FOR ALL (Park's, p. 30)
- Decided at World Health Assembly, May 1977
- Goal: All people to attain a level of health permitting a "socially and economically productive life" by 2000 AD
