  • To identify research priorities and prerequisites for enabling research in primary health care for HFA.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of the 38 HFA targets to determine research requirements.
  • Review of the two-volume "Research for Health for All" (RHFA) policy documents.
  • Examination of research priorities and enabling factors for primary health care research.

Main Results:

  • HFA necessitates major shifts in healthcare and a strong health research policy.
  • RHFA identifies specific research areas essential for meeting HFA targets.
  • Key research priorities include primary health care, with prerequisites in funding, incentives, and collaboration.

Conclusions:

  • Implementing HFA demands a strategic approach to health research.
  • Effective health research policy and infrastructure are crucial for achieving global health goals.
