10. PRIMARY HEALTH CARE
“Primary Health Care is
essential health care made
universally accessible to
individuals & acceptable to
them, through their full
participation & at a cost the
community & country can
afford”.
13. The Basic Requirements for Sound PHC
(the 8 A’s and the 3 C’s)
Appropriateness
Availability
Adequacy
Accessibility
Acceptability
Affordability
Assessability
Accountability
Completeness
Comprehensiveness
Continuity
24. Principles for primary health carePrinciples for primary health care
PHC based on the following principles
25. Equitable distribution
‘ Key’ principle of Primary Health Care
• Remove social injustice & services must be equally
distributed to all people of the community.
Irrespective of the cast, religion, community & ability
to pay ( rich or poor), urban or rural
Services must be accessible to all.
Needy & vulnerable group of population like
poor rural and urban slum.
26. EQUITABLE DISTRIBUTION
Access to health care - horizontal equity & vertical equity
Horizontal equity - “equal access for equal needs”
equal resources
equal access to health care
equal utilization of health services
equal health
27. EQUITABLE DISTRIBUTION
Vertical equity - unequal should be treated in proportion of
their inequality
Individuals with more need should have more treatment
The central theme of “need” therefore determines equity
28. Examples of equitable distribution in access to health care in
India:
Tripura- helicopter service to reach the remote set of tribal
hamlets
Andhra Pradesh- free bus passes to pregnant women for the
antenatal visits
Assam - Akha-ship to provide primary care services in riverine
Island through boat clinics
Tamil Nadu – concept of birth resorts is introduced in remote
and hilly areas for institutional deliveries
29. 2) Community Participation
“Promote maximum community and individual self-
reliance and participation in the planning, organization,
operation and control of primary health care, making
fullest use of local, national and other available resources;
and to this end develop through appropriate education the
ability of communities to participate”
Cost effective method.
Placing the health of people in their hands – It is by the
people, of the people and for the people.
‘Democratization’ of health services
30. COMMUNITY PARTICIPATION
Involvement of the individuals,
families and community
Determines both collective needs and priorities
Important role in formulating a health problem, make informed
choices ,objectives with community priorities
Universal coverage cannot be achieved without the involvement
of the local community
31. Types of community participation
Active - co-operation + resources, Passive -
cooperation
Marginal – limited, transitory participation of people
e.g. organization of camp with local support
• Substantial – community plays active role in
determining priorities & helping carrying out health
activities like health education, hygiene maintenance
e.g. Panchayati Raj Institutions
• Structural – community becomes integral part of
program & major basis of health activities
32. Planning steps in community participation:
Identification and prioritization of the problems
Planning together
Implementation by community members
Evaluation by community members
33. Examples of community participation in India:
Village health guides, trained dais, ASHA
Selected by the local community and trained locally
Essential feature of health care in India
34. Bare foot doctors:
In China, lack of availability of rural
health services was addressed from 1965 to 80
by development of bare foot doctors.
Rural farm workers were given basic heath
training to provide combination of traditional
and western medicine.
Regarded as model for development of
community health workers
35. Advantages of community participation
Cost effective method of providing health services
People begin to view health more objectively, they are
more likely to accept the care
Greater commitment of the people resulting in the
success of health care services
Health awareness in village people
Health workers get support for their activites
Health care services become more relevant to the
health needs of the people
Quality of health care improves
36. 3) Intersectoral co-ordination
“Involve, in addition to the health sector, all related
sectors and aspects of national and community
development
agriculture
animal husbandry
food industry
education
housing
public works
Communication
Voluntary organisation
38. Pre-requisites for Intersectoral Coordination:
Proper orientation of policies and programme
Formation of joint coordination committee at each level
Defining role and responsibilities of participatory agencies
Participatory decision making
Developing formal system of interaction, discussion and
debate
Sharing of the problems faced in implementation
39. Mechanism of co-ordination:
List out names of different sectors
Identify the NGOs and voluntary organisation
Constitute the district level co-ordination committee
Formulate specific task forces
Jointly decide the objectives and areas
Decide the role and responsibility
Development a plan
40. Difficulties facing intersectoral co-ordination:
Create conflicts of interest and disequilibrium
Power struggles
Agencies must be able to compromise and impose change on the
normal working patterns
Cultural changes may occur within organisations
Co-ordination may turn out to be more expensive in terms of
time, money and manpower
41. Irrespective of the disadvantages, intersectoral coordination is
the key principle outlined by WHO if Health for All has to be
achieved
An outstanding example of the intersectoral coordination at the
grass root level - Anganwadi as a part of ICDS programme
42. 4) Appropriate technology

Simple,
Scientifically sound,
Practically adaptable,
Culturally acceptable ,
Economically cheaper

43. APPROPRIATE TECHNOLOGY
“Technology that is scientifically sound, adaptable to local
needs and acceptable to those who apply it and those for
whom it is used and is maintained by the people themselves in
keeping with the principle of self reliance with the resources
the country and the community can afford”
44. Examples for the appropriate technology
Use of coloured tapes for measuring mid upper arm
circumference
Use of ORS
Tender coconut for oral hydration
Growth chart maintenance for under five children
Low cost mosquito repellent creams
Simple water purification
45. Informational technological advancements that have been
proven to ultimately enhancing the service delivery-
Health Management Information System
Telemedicine
Immunization programs,
DOTS , Nutritional supplementation
Distribution of DDK for domiciliary midwifery services
Distribution of IFA tablets
Biogas plant for cooking, heating and lighting.
Smokeless chulhas for cooking
46. To Summarize

Focuses on the person not the disease, considers all
determinants of health
Integrates care when there is more than one problem
Uses resources to narrow differences
Forms the basis for other levels of health systems
Addresses most important problems in the
community by providing preventive, curative, and
rehabilitative services
Organizes deployment of resources aiming at
promoting and maintaining health.
47. “When We talk about capacity, We absolutely must talk
about the importance of primary health care. it is the
cornerstone of building the capacity of health systems”
