Good to see your words noting Cuba’s extremely impressive accomplishments.  

I currently am working with Cuban colleagues on some projects directly related to how primary care is integrated with broader community-based health promotion strategies. The focus of our pilot in Villa Clara (central part of the country) and our 3 year national study is on the evidence base being used for intersectoral management of health determinants (with the strongest focus on environmental health determinants, the area where we are presently in the final year of a 5 year capacity building project across the country).

Best regards

Jerry

hi all

 

it might be worthwhile looking at the cuban model of primary care.  cuban primary care mds, working and dedicated to a particular neighborhood, are charged with treatment, diagnosis, rehabilitation, and, critically, prevention of illness.  working with a practice nurse in close affiliation with barrio (neighborhood) organizations, the cuban health care system has produced extraordinary results with limited resources.  as cubans say "we live like poor people but die like rich ones" ie.  the average life span and the causes of mortality in cuba are more akin to a developed country the developing ones...

 

is there anyone on this email list from cuba or latin america???

South Australia has community health centres that incorporate primary care. The salaried medical practices within these centres have a strong focus on promotion and prevention and work within a model that places primary care firmly within a primary health care framework.

            I am looking into the role of a health promoter, health educator, community developer (or other related roles) within primary care.

           

            Can anyone point me in the direction of primary care organizations that have such roles?  I am already familiar with community health centre health promotion roles within Canada are there any others our there?

           

            Thanks,

            Jennifer Boyko
