    Primary Health Care! Community Based 'Wealth Care Programmes
    (Tangaza University College, 1999-09-15) Munyu, Mary
    The aim of this progrmume was to identify Primary Health Care within Gilgit Division and create awareness to the public, particularly to the communities starting from the grass-root The programme embraced good teamwork from all the ministries involved under the coordination of the Public Health Coordinator. In creation of awareness seminars, workshops and meetings were held with various topics covered as mentioned under the progranmie activities. Indeed, this gave a lot of insight on the primary health care conditions, thus equipping the persons with proper information to disseminate to the community Various means were used for publicity being verbally through the chief s baraza and church' s. These helped greatly in increasing awareness to already sensitized community By now, they have learnt that teamwork involves collaborating with other persons/personnel in the division for effective implementation of the programme. 'This means not only focusing on health but also socio-economic well being of the target group, in order to empower them to be more self-reliant among themselves and thus improvement to their standard of living.
