Abstract

From the enactment of the Apothecaries Act by the British government in 1815 until Halfdan Mahler convened the Alma-Ata conference in September 1978, a series of events took place that made up the shape and spirit of contemporary primary care. We wish to demonstrate to the reader that Alma-Ata was not a foundational phenomenon, but perhaps it was only the tip of a historical iceberg.
