Abstract: In this study, they presented the analysis of current views on the important link in medical care provision to the population, namely, primary health care. According to the Alma-Ata Declaration on the organization of primary health care this type of medical assistance has made it possible to carry out reforms within this area in many countries, which has led to effective results (the reduction of infant mortality, the increase of life expectancy and a number of other indicators). In this paper, they performed the analysis of Russian and foreign sources of literature on the topic under study between 1978 and 2018. It has been established that primary health care is regarded as the most effective instrument of health protection than specialized medical care according to the experience of Russian Federation, a number of countries in Europe, Asia and the African continent, Australia and the United States. The performed analysis clearly shows that the experience of some countries demonstrates the correlation between the general coverage of primary health care and the achievement of public health indicative indicators. At the same time, the question is raised about the expediency of certain aspect replacement concerning the provision of specialized medical care by the doctors of general practice, i.e. primary health care. The obtained results can be interpreted as an evidence base for the necessity and an undeniable effectiveness of primary health care as a central link in the health care system.
