Debate on Primary Health Care

Primary Health Care is a broad and spread concept that became a matter of debate throughout these pages. This was not an easy task due to its strong idealistic aspect and its principles and guidelines. Because of the many mechanisms used to reveal its immediate and remote antecedents, the discovery of conflictual models with conceptual contradictions and the large number of questions, many doctrinaire statements, which seemed to be obvious, are being questioned. We invite the reader to deconstruct the concept of Primary Health Care in order to come up with new strategic proposals, which can be more efficient so that health workers can count on tools to face the growing mercantilization of the sector, wherever they are.
