Abstract: This paper suggests that there needs to be consideration of what is sustainable health, a definition of which should look beyond the feasibility of maintaining biomedically oriented health strategies. Such a definition needs to be located within a health sensitive development framework. The paper examines some of the debates around appropriate primary health care and looks in particular at health programmes aimed at intervening in diarrhoeal episodes.
