Abstract

The goal of “Health for All” has not changed since it was orginally promoted in 1977, but the strategy for reaching this goal has been revised dramatically. Primary health care, through preventive measures, simple lifestyle improvements, human resource development, and health education, is now promoted as a means to attain “Health for All” by the year 2000. The authors report the results of a health care project in Kenya's western province.
