Too often, primary health care is regarded as a service for minor health problems and for managing access to secondary care. This limited view is no longer tenable and it is time to be much more ambitious about the place of primary health care in health systems worldwide.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn delivering and planning health care and in re-building health systems after the pandemic, practitioners and policymakers in low-, middle- and high-income countries need evidence on how primary health care affects population mortality and practical advice to effect change. \u003ci\u003ePrimary Health Care and Population Mortality\u003c\/i\u003e fulfils this need. Drawing on his long experience as both a practitioner and researcher, the author Richard Baker describes how primary health is crucial to the effect of health systems on population mortality, including its potential for reducing inequalities in mortality.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis accessible new book will provide invaluable information to leaders in service development and delivery, academics in primary health care and those working within international organisations that are promoting primary health care for improving population health. It will also be of practical value to general practitioners, primary health care nurses and managers and public health staff.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHard times\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrom certificates to statistics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVariations in population mortality and some things that influence them\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrimary health care and population mortality in low-, middle and high-income countries\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCommunicable diseases\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNon-communicable diseases 1: cardiovascular disease and cancer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNon-communicable diseases 2: respiratory disorders and mental health\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrganisational features of primary health care\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe patient - professional relationship\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePolicy and populations health management\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe mechanisms framework\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew ambitions for primary health care\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\u003cp\u003eIndex\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51019029709143,"sku":"9781032397375","price":34.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781032397375.jpg?v=1750779088","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/primary-health-care-and-population-mortality-9781032397375","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
