Abstract
Primary Health Care (PHC) is a pivotal discipline in disease prevention, promotion of community-oriented primary care and implementation of evidence-based strategies to improve the health status of the people. This textbook focuses on PHC in the African context in comparison to the rest of the world. It provides fundamental concepts in health such as the current epidemiological trend in East Africa, comprehensive versus selective PHC, emerging and re-emerging diseases, social health insurance and a critical analysis of whether health for all has been achieved.
