Abstract

The comprehensive primary health care (CPHC) concept arose in response to the recognition of the limitations of a bio-medical and technological approach to improving health. A global literature review undertaken by the project reveals very few documented stories of true CPHC initiatives. The Revitalized Health for All (RHFA) program aims to renew the evidence base for CPHC and build regional and global networks of researchers and policy-makers. In addition, stories have been collected for a compilation volume from 20 participating teams and 50 collaborators, providing insights into CPHC towards future health reforms, and towards implementing truly “comprehensive” primary health care.
