title: The role of hospitals in primary health care: the managerial implications.
abstract: This paper is the result of a discussion group developed by IHF for the purpose of preparing material for submission to WHO. The paper extrapolates and expands on the proceedings of the discussion group. The author argues that the ideals of community care will remain simply theoretical unless senior management and the corresponding resources are allocated to it.
