Primary health care and the medical practitioners

ABSTRACT

The principles of primary health care were readily adopted in Seychelles because these same principles had already been accepted in the programme of the Seychelles People's Progressive Front since its foundation in the early 1964. The declaration of AlmaAta of 1978; coming one year after the SPPF formed a new government; provided an added stimulus to the development of a new health system based on principles such as equity and universal access to comprehensive health services; people's participation in a health; and emphasis on health as part of community and national development
