Abstract in brief

  • Community health systems in high-income countries have not become mainstream, often remaining secondary to traditional biomedical medical care, as seen in countries like Australia, Canada, the US, and the UK.
  • Factors limiting their growth include the dominance of general practitioners leading care, funding models favoring treatment over prevention, and professional hierarchies that suppress community participation.
  • Achieving a strong community health system in high-income countries will need broad ideological, political, and institutional changes to create a more equitable, accessible, and collaborative healthcare environment.

‘barriers: when general practitioners were seen to lead rather than be part of a team; funding models that encourage curative services rather than disease prevention & health promotion; and medical dominance so that community voices are drowned out.’ https://t.co/Yq2ieGaU51
