dc.description.abstractThis article summarizes an extensive review of South American experiences with primary health care. The studies fall along an effectiveness spectrum, from complete and ideal implementation of comprehensive primary health care to varying degrees of partial implementation. Rights-based health policies have been developed within the legal and constitutional frameworks of many countries in the region. Conditions that were found to promote successful implementation of primary health care are outlined, together with features that help create more equitable health services and health outcomes. In cases with a weak rights-based approach, it was more difficult to implement and coordinate primary health care.en
