Revitalizing health for all : case studies of the struggle for comprehensive primary health care

Abstract

Researchers and research-users from national public health systems were brought together to design, implement, and assess comprehensive primary health care projects in communities around the globe, including in Australia, Brazil, Democratic Republic of Congo, South Africa, and Iran. “Revitalizing Health for All” examines thirteen case studies of efforts to implement primary health care reform. The volume reveals similarities among projects in diverse national contexts and offers a rich evidence base from which future reform initiatives can draw. It includes sections on: Increasing Equitable Access to Health Care; Community Engagement; Community Health Workers; Governance and Intersectoral Action.
