Primary health care in Cameroon meets with serious obstacles. The state gives it a low priority in its budget and over-all policy. The health institutions are rarely active in this field. Institutions which do practice some primary health care are usually foreign. The villagers, finally, are little interested. They insist only on improvement of curative services and material life conditions. The conclusion is that primary health care is regarded as something of secondary importance. First comes a better life. The research for this paper was conducted in 1980 in the South of Cameroon.
喀麦隆的初级卫生保健面临严重障碍。该国在预算和总体政策中对其重视程度较低。卫生机构在这一领域很少积极开展工作。那些确实开展一些初级卫生保健工作的机构通常是外国机构。最后，村民们兴趣不大。他们只坚持改善治疗服务和物质生活条件。结论是，初级卫生保健被视为次要事务。首先是更好的生活。本文的研究于1980年在喀麦隆南部进行。
