The ultimate goal of primary health care is better health for all. WHO has identified five key elements to achieving that goal:

1 Reducing exclusion and social disparities in health (universal coverage reforms); 2 Organizing health services around people’s needs and expectations (service delivery reforms); 3 Integrating health into all sectors (public policy reforms); 4 Pursuing collaborative models of policy dialogue (leadership reforms); and 5 Increasing stakeholder participation.
