In many ways the problems identified in low- and middle-income countries are also reflected in the challenges facing the Australian health care system, especially in the context of ongoing reforms. At the same time, there are also important differences. For example, the issue of concern around PHC in Australia are centred mainly around clinical practice whereas in the developing countries the focus is very much on systemic aspects of PHC.The research reported in this paper is a project of the Australian Primary Health Care Research Institute which is supported by a grant from the Australian Government Department of Health and Ageing under the Primary Health Care Research Evaluation and Development Strategy.6 pages50 KBapplication/pdfen-AUAuthor/s retain copyright.2010
