Cette étude examine la notion de soins de santé primaire : notion qui a vu le jour lors de la Conférence Mondiale de la Santé en 1977 dans le but déterminé de l'accès à la santé pour tous. Cette décision a été poursuivie lors de la Conférence internationale historique sur les soins de santé primaire à Alma Ata en 1978. Plusieurs pays, dont le Nigeria, ont accepté le plan de soins de santé primaire afin de réussir l'accès à la santé pour tous en 2000 (2000 et au-delà). La santé doit être considérée comme un tout et la santé bucco-dentaire en fait partie intégrante. Les stratégies pour parvenir à la santé pour tous doivent inclure impérativement la santé bucco-dentaire.
Cet article montre l'intérêt de la stratégie des soins de santé primaire dans la santé bucco-dentaire. Il conclut que les soins de santé primaire sont étroitement liés à la santé bucco-dentaire au Nigeria.
This article discuses the concept of Primary Health Care - an idea which started with the World Health Assembly agreement in 1977 to work resolutely towards the goal of Health for All. This decision was followed by the historic inter-national conference on Primary Health Care at Alma Ata in 1978. Many countries including Nigeria, adopted the primary health care strategy to achieve health for all by the year 2000 (now 2000 and beyond). Since health needs to be seen and dealt with in a holistic manner, oral health is an integral part of health. Strategies for achieving health for all impliedly and must of necessity involve oral health.
This article has tried to show the relevance of the strategy of primary health care to oral health. It concludes that primary health care approach is very relevant to oral health in Nigeria.
