In South Africa, early lessons in primary health care were lost to sight and have been rediscovered only recently. Priorities need to be reassessed in order to better allocate resources to community needs. Developing and developed communities require different primary care services. Simple and effective epidemiological methods should be used to gather information required for planning and evaluation of services. In developing communities, where there is a shortage of doctors, trained nurses operate local clinics with the help of community workers. Community participation and the cooperation of the traditional healers are necessary. Appropriate training of personnel for an effective role in public health care is essential.
在南非，初级卫生保健的早期经验曾被忽视，直到最近才被重新发现。需要重新评估优先事项，以便更好地根据社区需求分配资源。发展中社区和发达社区需要不同的初级保健服务。应采用简单有效的流行病学方法来收集规划和评估服务所需的信息。在医生短缺的发展中社区，经过培训的护士在社区工作者的帮助下运营当地诊所。社区参与和传统治疗师的合作是必要的。对人员进行适当培训，使其在公共卫生保健中发挥有效作用至关重要。
