Summary The health restructuring taking place within the health sector is a direct result of the unfolding socio-political processes presently sweeping across the country's very young democracy. The adoption of a Primary Health Care (PHC) approach and the transition to a district-based health system is an attempt to bring the health services closer to the people and to correct or redress the way in which money is spent to keep people healthy.
