Abstract
Primary Health care offers not only basic health care for families on clinical ailments but forms the interface between family practice and specialist practice which requires referrals from family physicians. A well developed Primary Health Care Service would be involved in the prevention of major diseases and the aftercare following hospital admission. While the World Health Organisation and affluent nations are endorsing traditional medicine as a practical supplement to mainline medicine which is becoming over-specialised and more and more expensive, it might be timely to incorporate alternative medicine into Family Practice in order to initiate a more comprehensive service.
