After successful implementation of all the 13 core elements of family practice as recommended by WHO Regional Office for the astern Mediterranean the family practice approach will be expanded to cover other primary health care facilities in various regions of Libya. The implementation of family practice, which is characterized by comprehensive, coordinated, continuous care will contribute to improved health outcomes by focusing on personal, individual and community aspects of care.
This workshop will be followed by a number of follow-up workshops and cascade training in order to involve and orient all cadres of health care workers who will be involved in the implementation and monitoring of the approach. The successful implementation of the family practice approach requires ample time and adequate financial and human resources which will be provided by the Ministry of Health. Technical support will be provided by WHO Libya through the DFID-funded primary health care project during the initial phases of implementation.
