Introduction Health is a highly subjective concept. Good health means different things to different people, and Its meaning varies according to individual and community expectations and context. Many people consider themselves healthy if they are free of disease or disability. However, people who have a Disease or disability may also see themselves as being in good health if they are able to manage their condition so that it does not impact greatly on their quality of life. 12/29/2022 Esrom 2
Introduction… WHO defined health as “a state of complete physical, mental, and social well being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.” Physical health – refers to anatomical integrity and physiological functioning of the body. To say a person is physically healthy: - All the body parts should be there. - All of them are in their natural place and position. - None of them has any pathology. - All of them are doing their physiological functions -And they work with each other harmoniously. 12/29/2022 Esrom 3
Introduction Mental health - ability to learn and think clearly. A person with good mental health is able to handle day-to-day events and obstacles, work towards important goals, and function effectively in society. Social health – ability to make and maintain acceptable interactions with other people. E.g. To feel sad when somebody close to you passes away. The absence of health is denoted by such terms as disease, illness and sickness, which usually mean the same thing though social scientists give them different meaning to each. 12/29/2022 Esrom 4

ORGANIZATION OF HEALTH SERVICES IN ETHIOPIA Historical Development Modern health care delivery in Ethiopia has come from traditional medicine root. Introduction of modern medicine to Ethiopia =16 th century. Since then, its development is arbitrarily divided in to 6 periods as follows 35 12/29/2022 Esrom
Historical Development . . . . . . . Period I = Period of introduction =1500-1900 Period II = Period of Ethiopianization =1900-1935 Period III = Period of Italian occupation =1935-1941 Period IV = Period of overtaking responsibility of health service by the government =1941-1974 5. Period V = Period of socialist economy = 1974-1991 ` 6 . Period VI = Period of market economy, Democratization, Decentralization, and Privatization = 1991- to date 36 12/29/2022 Esrom

Definition It is an essential health care based on practical , scientifically sound and socially acceptable methods and technology , made universally accessible to individuals and families in the community through their full participation and at a cost that the community and the country can afford 81 12/29/2022 Esrom
Historical development of PHC Establishment of WHO in 1948 Failurity of the WHO to meet its goal of delivering highest possible health to all people The expensive and unsuccessful vertical approach of control programmes as malaria, TBc and STI. Low health status of majority of people in disadvantaged areas globally 82 12/29/2022 Esrom
Historical development of PHC . . . . .. Practical focus to curative service than preventive, promotive and rehabilitative Thus -the magnitude of health problems and inadequate distribution of health resources called for a new approach and the concept of PHC was born. 83 12/29/2022 Esrom
Historical development of PHC . . . . . In 1977 the WHO set a goal of providing "Health for All by the year 2000” The strategy to meet this goal was later defined in the 1978 WHO/UNICEF joint meeting at Alma-Ata USSR = The Primary Health Care (PHC) strategy 84 12/29/2022 Esrom
The PHC philosophy Equity and justice Ensures equitable distribution of health care by narrowing the gap. 2. Individual and community self reliance Personal responsibility for their own health. 3 . Inter relation ship of health and development Good health status leads to productive life. 85 12/29/2022 Esrom
Principles of PHC Inter- sectoral collaboration Community participation Appropriate technology Equity Health Promotion and prevention Decentralisation 86 12/29/2022 Esrom
1. Inter sectoral collaboration It means a joint concern and responsibility of other sectors for identifying problems, plan and implement to be able to improve the health of local people the PHC programme needs not only the health sector, but also the involvement of other sectors, like agriculture, education and housing is important. This is to identify community needs together b/c the causes of ill health are not limited only to health sector. 87 12/29/2022 Esrom
2. Community Participation this includes meaningful involvement of the community in planning, implementing and maintaining their health services. Through the involvement of the community, maximum utilization of local resources, such as manpower, money and materials, can be utilized to fulfill the goals of PHC. 88 12/29/2022 Esrom
3. Appropriate technology Technology that is scientifically sound, adaptable to local needs, and acceptable to those who apply it and for whom it is used. Criteria for Appropriate technology Effective Culturally acceptable Affordable---cost effective Locally sustainable Measurable Politically responsible Environmental accountable (harmless) 89 12/29/2022 Esrom
4.Equity (Equitable distribution) Implies addressing differences that are unnecessary, avoidable and unfair. Planning for equity requires identification of disadvantaged groups in terms of access to or utilization of health services. Healthcare services must be equally shared by all the people of the community irrespective of their race, creed or economic status. 90 12/29/2022 Esrom
5. Health Promotion and prevention Adopting a promotive or preventive approach to health problems. Such an approach sees health as a positive attribute, rather than simply" the absence of disease“. Through health promotion individuals and families build an understanding of the determinants of health and develop skills to improve and maintain their health and wellbeing 91 12/29/2022 Esrom
6.Decentralization Bring decision making to the communities and to field level providers of services. Enhance multisectoral collaboration at the lower service-delivery level. 92 12/29/2022 Esrom
Elements of PHC Health Education how to prevent and control them Food supply and proper nutrition Maternal and child healthcare, including family planning Adequate and safe water supply and basic sanitation Immunization against major infectious diseases Local endemic diseases control Appropriate treatment of common diseases and injuries Provision of essential drugs 93 12/29/2022 Esrom
Additional elements incorporated After Alma-Ata: Oral Health Mental Health Occupational Health HIV/AIDS The use of traditional Medicine ARI 94 12/29/2022 Esrom
PHC in Ethiopia Increased health awareness of the population. Increasing number of medical and paramedical personnel. Expansion of health services to the broad masses Locally endemic diseases prevention and control . EPI against six major CDs , MCH (FP) 95 12/29/2022 Esrom
Provision of essential drugs Nutrition & promotion of food supply Treatment of common diseases and injuries Sanitation and safe water supply PHC in Ethiopia…. 12/29/2022 Esrom 96
Major problems in implementation of PHC in Ethiopia Absence of infrastructure Failure to achieve intersectoral collaboration Inadequate resource allocation Absence of clear guidelines on how to implement PHC Weak community involvement Poor leader ship Presence of culturally dictated HTP 97 12/29/2022 Esrom
Approaches in PHC Two approaches in PHC implementation Selective PHC (SPHC) Comprehensive PHC (CPHC) 98 12/29/2022 Esrom
1. Selective PHC approach Directing health services toward diseases with high mortality and morbidity Making health care accessible to the greater number, using criteria of morbidity, prevalence, mortality and disability 99 Approaches in PHC 12/29/2022 Esrom
Selective PHC approach . . . . . . . Views health as the absence of disease. sPHC is a low cost strategy to treat and prevent few selected diseases which have greater impact to mortality. 100 12/29/2022 Esrom
The low cost strategy of Sphc GOBIFF Strategy G = Growth monitoring O = Oral rehydration B = Breast feeding I = Immunization F = Female education F = Family planning 12/29/2022 Esrom 101
Approaches in PHC . . . . . . . Advantage of sPHC approach Easier decision-making Faster and more satisfactory results 102 12/29/2022 Esrom
Disadvantage of sPHC approach Limited scope of activities Is disease oriented. (treats individuals who are sick) Failure to address general community Failure to address priorities of the community It is Doctor dependent Failure to involved other sectors 12/29/2022 Esrom 103
2. Comprehensive PHC Comprehensive PHC Focus on a positive (holistic ) state of well being Advantage of the cPHC approach It looks at health holistically Sees health as part of the development It involves and empowers people It promotes equity and priorities of the community It advocates multisectoral collaborations 104 12/29/2022 Esrom
Comprehensive PHC Disadvantages of the cPHC approach It is expensive initially to set up an infrastructure It requires conscious planning Results are gradual It is a long and complex process 105 12/29/2022 Esrom

Health Service Coverage … WHO proposes five domains of coverage measure : 1. Availability coverage 2. Accessibility coverage 3. Acceptability coverage 4. Contact coverage 5. Effective coverage 12/29/2022 Esrom 123
Health Service Coverage … 1. Availability coverage First of all, some resources – human power, facilities, drugs, etc- are always required in order to provide a service, The ratio between this resources and the size of the target population gives the measurement of availability coverage 12/29/2022 Esrom 124
Health Service Coverage … 2.Accessibility coverage The service must be located within reasonable reach of the people who should benefit from it. Meeting this condition can be considered as the next stage in the process of service provision, Here , the capacity of the service is limited by the number of people who can reach and use it . 12/29/2022 Esrom 125
Health Service Coverage … 3.Acceptability coverage The service needs to be acceptable to the population , otherwise people may not use it This “acceptability” may be influenced by such factors as the cost of the service, religion, etc. Here service capacity is limited by the number of people who are willing to use the service. Quality is most closely related to acceptability . 126 12/29/2022 Esrom
Health Service Coverage … 4. Contact Coverage The next stage in the process of service provision is the actual contact between the service provider and the user. The ratio between number of people who have contacted and the size of the target population gives measurement of contact coverage. Utilization is related to contact coverage. 127 12/29/2022 Esrom
Health Service Coverage … 5.Effectiveness coverage The contact between the service provider and the user does not always guarantee a successful intervention related to the user’s health problem or an effective service. We can, therefore, consider another stage in the process of service provision where a service performance that is appraised as satisfactory by specific criteria is achieved. The number of people who have received satisfactory service is thus another measurement of service output called effective coverage. 12/29/2022 Esrom 128
