| Description | This chapter provides great opportunity to radically change primary care services to provide a truly universal and comprehensive proactive health service for all and achieve the dream of the Alma-Ata Declaration. Proactive primary care has a crucial role in promoting healthier lifestyles through each and every contact with members of the public. Training of the health-care workforce is needed to deliver a more proactive and efficient service that is designed to meet both population and individual needs. Proactive primary care means radical change to the model of service; it includes integrating key public health functions and interventions into primary care service. “Comprehensive proactive” primary care means: a primary care-led health service, that is proactive, focusing on preventive and public health interventions, personalized and person-centred care, total care, and seamless integrated service. Transforming primary care into a proactive programme of promoting health and preventing diseases, in addition to diagnosis, treatment, and care, is a logical step towards its development.
