A historical study of the health field in Argentina allowed to verify that the generic concept of Primary Health Care has recruited a cluster of different models coming from many initiatives of international Public Health experiences. These traditions were pragmatically combined by the political waves that draw a dramatic and a polar sequence from 1978 until nowadays. The research plan included a historical component, using documents and former stakeholders' interview, and a prospective one with work of postgraduate educators that had preliminary results, questions, and challenges in order to explore the future of the Primary Health Care.
