Book cover Community-Based Health Interventions in an Institutional Context

Abstract

The final chapter emphasizes the need for a re-evaluation of institutionalized health care. Drawing from the chapters described above, the benefits of institutionalizing community-based health projects are illustrated. To the extent that community-based efforts are described as substantially different from conventional health practices, health institutions must be conceptualized and operationalized to preserve the intentions of communities. Furthermore, an entirely new ethic of health care must be promoted. In short, a careful examination of how community-based projects can be institutionalized has the prospect for advancing effective strategies for community health planning.
