Abstract

Primary health care is an essential part of the health care system whose basic principles equality, health promotion and disease prevention, community involvement, appropriate technology and multi­sectoral approach and the key elements of organizational and managerial decentralization strategy, strategic management, coordination and development of control systems. In the mid 80s, the World Health Organization initiated the program 'Promotion of Health', which is considered to be an essential strategy for achieving the common goal of 'Health for All' - improving the health of the population. Promotional preventive measures require the support of health policy, engagement of the whole society, multisectoral cooperation and political support. A special place in these measures has a health service, but need a reorientation of the entire health care system in terms of changes in work, health care financing and training of health workers. .
