[Thoughts on primary health care of tomorrow--from the patient's responsibility to population responsibility].
Anticipatory care among the general population, not only care of patients, would enhance the effectiveness of primary health care.

More important, population medicine would provide better care for people with chronic diseases and engage the GPs in practical public health-oriented work.
