M.Cur. (Nursing Administration) / With the Declaration of Alma Ata in September, 1978, a new era in health care delivery, the primary health care era with its slogan of "health for all by the year 2000' dawned. Much thought had to be put into new legislation and reorganizing of health services in South Africa. Soweto, devastated by riots in 1976, suffered badly when all health care services collapsed. Out of this crisis was born a primary health care service that provides Soweto with preventive, promotive, curative and rehabilative health care. The researcher has attempted to give an introduction into primary health care, as practiced world wide, with a review of the historical development of the primary health care service in Soweto. These services were analysed, drawing conclusions on the present service and the status of the health care in Soweto and concluding with proposals for further improvement of the health care services.
