Greetings again, everyone. Welcome to Module 2 of Health for All Through Primary Health Care. We welcome you to the second leg of our journey on the Coursera express. During this module we will be looking in more detail at what the 1978 International Conference on Primary Health Care was referring to when it used the term primary health care. We will also be discussing some other primary health care frameworks that are derived from or related in certain ways to the Alma-Ata framework but have important distinctions. Then we will discuss in more detail the extraordinary contributions of Carl Taylor to the field of primary health care. We talked briefly about Carl in module one, but here we will go into a bit more detail regarding his work later in his life in China. And with Future Generations, a nongovernmental organization he worked with his son, Daniel, to establish. We'll present the SEED-SCALE framework for integrated community-based social development and the concept of community empowerment, which is inherent in the philosophy of primary health care as defined at Alma-Ata. In the third segment of this module's lectures we will hear from Carl Taylor himself in a recording made several years prior to his death in 2010. He will be describing the roots of primary health care from his own perspective along with a deeper historical perspective on the origins of primary health care. This is a lecture he gave for a course we teach at Hopkins called Case Studies in Primary Health Care. You can download this entire course from the Johns Hopkins School of Public Health website. Go to the school's website and look at the bottom of the page for the link to Open Courseware. There are no actual readings this week. Instead you will be watching three videos of primary health care projects. Two are from India and one is from Liberia. One is the Jamkhed project in central India which we have mentioned several times already. The other is also from a project in central India called SEARCH in Gadchiroli. Both of these projects were started by students of Carl Taylor's. The third is an emerging project in Liberia led by one of our recent graduates from Johns Hopkins, Raj Panjabi. I think you will enjoy these as an initial look in greater depth into some of the details of primary health care programs. Our ride on the Coursera Express during this module will take us first into concepts and principles, culminating at a final, rich, historical panorama provided by Carl Taylor. And we are visiting projects in India and Liberia to get our first real glimpse of primary health care programming. This module's journey, together with our journey in the previous module, will provide us with a strong foundation for the journey ahead, in which we will be visiting a number of other projects around the world. Once you have finished the lecture and viewed the required videos, move quickly to take the multiple choice quiz. This week, you will be also writing a paper that will be approximately 700 words in length. For this paper, I want you to reflect on Carl Taylor's lecture, The Roots of Primary Health Care, in light of the other lectures presented in modules one and two, Then answer the following question. What new insights into primary health care have you gained from this lecture that go beyond what you gained from the other lectures? More details are available on the course website. So have a great time completing module two on the Coursera Express, and enjoy the second leg of your journey.
