Scholarly Journals In General Practice

“Primary health care approach was too broad and not realistic at the beginning. The idea of selective primary health care (SPHC) was proposed thereafter by Julia Walsh and Kenneth S. Warren, who presented a paper entitled ‘Selective Primary Health Care, an Interim Strategy for Disease Control in Developing Countries’, in a conference organized by Rockefeller foundation in Italy in 1979. They suggested targeting diseases, which cause greatest mortality and morbidity. New strategies were adopted, focusing the maternal and child health as part of primary care. Subsequently, the acronym GOBI-FFF appeared which included growth monitoring, oral rehydration therapy, breastfeeding, immunization, family planning, female education and food supplementation. In 2008, an assessment of progression of primary health care was done among 30 low-income and middle- income countries [5]. It revealed that these countries scaled up SPHC like immunization, family planning, etc. Fourteen countries progressed to comprehensive primary health care, which was marked by high coverage of skilled attendance at birth. Still, SPHC was criticized for having narrow techno centric approach, as it failed to address the social causes of disease”. Parvin R (2013) Primary Health Care.
