It is a three tier system of health care delivery in rural areas based on the recommendation of the Shrivastav Committee in 1975. Close on the heels of these Recommendations an International conference at Alma-Ata in 1978 , set the goal of an acceptable level of Health for All the people of the world by the year 2000 through primary health care approach.

The Bhore committee in 1946 gave the concept of a primary health centre as a basic health unit, to provide, as close to the people as possible, an integrated curative and preventive health care to the rural population with emphasis on preventive and promotive aspects of health care. The Bhore Committee aimed at having a health centre to serve a population of 10,000 to 20,000 with 6 medical officers, 6 public health nurses and other supporting staff. But in view of the limited resources, the Bhore Committee's recommendations could not be fully implemented, even after a lapse of 60 years.
