English | 2023 | ISBN: 1032397373 | 229 Pages | PDF (True) | 11 MB
Population health management is being increasingly adopted by health systems yet the importance of primary health care in influencing population mortality and the mechanisms that explain it are not well understood.

This limited view is no longer tenable and it is time to be much more ambitious about the place of primary health care in health systems worldwide.
