Four Principles Of Primary Health Care

Principles of PHC
There are 4 main principles of Primary health care. They are Equity, community participation, Intersect oral collaboration, and appropriate technology. Equitable distribution is the first principle of health services. The principles is about the health services that must be shared equally by all people rich and poor without any discrimination i.e., color, ethnic group gender etc, all should have access to the health service. The second principle community participation says about the responsibility of the state, the involvement of individuals, families, and communities in promotion of their own health and welfare that is an important part of primary health care. PHC cannot be achieved without the community participation

Obstacles for implementing PHC Approach.
The goal of Primary Health Care is better health for all but most of the countries do not have the proper comprehensiveness in planning allocating proper resources for Primary Health Care. For a continuous process of better care it requires an extensive network of functional health infrastructure with referral networks.
Following are a few obstacles that are faced by the government or the health sector in the implementation of Primary health

When it alters negatively it creates a negative impact on the implementation. In spite of the feasibility and the useful process, challenges are faced by many health sectors. The health sector has expectations from others sectors which may not be essential to contribute a shared responsibility for health improvement but the public has the expectation of “health” form the health sector. It is a challenge for the health sector to organize all the stakeholders for inter-sectoral collaboration through advocacy and programming.
Yet, the health sector rarely takes on initiatives in that direction. The sector is challenged to organize all stakeholders for inter-sectoral collaboration through advocacy and programming (Adeleye & Ofili, 2010).
Economic factors
Berkman and Epstein (2008) have stated that the link between socioeconomic disadvantages and poor health has been observed but they lack data that permits them to make constant evaluations of the linkages across many countries. For example if the GDP of the country is low the funding for the health sector also will be low, this will alter a negative impact on the health of the community (Berkman & Epstein,
