Measuring the progress of primary health care: health survey experience in Africa
Data from household surveys bear directly on a number of health objectives and policy considerations common to most of the developing world. Looking at the indicators being proposed by the World Health Organization to monitor progress towards Health for All by the Year 2000 (HFA/2000) household surveys will be a significant source of essential health statistics, and in many cases are the only practical way in which reliable measures and rates for the whole country and its major population groups can be assembled at this time. Statistical systems must be able to identify vulnerable and high risk groups such as mothers, children, the elderly, and the most disadvantaged. strategies for reaching the estimated two fifths of the population who are presently outside the health care system in developing countries will require information on the size, distribution and characteristics of these unserved populations.
