LETTER

CUETO RESPONDS

Marcos Cueto, PhD

Correspondence: Requests for reprints should be sent to Marcos Cueto, PhD, Facultad de Salud Pública, Universidad Peruana Cayetano Heredia, Avenida Honorio Delgado 430, Lima 31, Peru (e-mail: mcueto{at}upch.edu.pe).

I am grateful for Gofin and Gofin’s letter mentioning an important dimension of primary health care that I did not examine in my article. One reason for its absence is that I did not find the term "community-oriented primary health care" very frequently in the archival materials of the late 1970s and early 1980s of the World Health Organization, the United Nations Children’s Fund, the Rockefeller Foundation, and the Pan American Health Organization. My article was the first result of 2 years’ investigation based on the archives of these official health agencies. My research is ongoing, and I am certain that in the future I will find many remarkable cases of community-oriented primary health care that may have been missed by the official agencies.

I very much agree with Gofin and Gofin that the work of Sidney and Emily Kark is crucial for anyone interested in primary health care. Their letter suggests the need for more research on the history of primary health care, and I thank them for it.
