IAPSM Declaration 2018: A Promising Beginning
Journal Title: Healthline - Year 2019, Vol 10, Issue 1
Abstract
Community Medicine discipline and role of Department have been debated for long. IAPSM Declaration 2018 attempts to address these issues for developing a better understanding. The strength of declaration lies in the change in focus to basic clinical services, traditional 'Community Medicine' functions, effective community based training and liaison with district health care delivery systems. The definition, overlapping of key functions with 'Public Health' and a focus on curative services, however, need further attention. The Departments have to work closely with Clinical Departments in Medical Institutions, District Health agencies at all levels as well as Communities to achieve these objectives.
