They belong to the community they serve 3. Intersectoral coordination The primary health care is not provided by health sector alone. It involves all other related sectors of national and community development, in particular agriculture, animal husbandry, food, industry, education, housing, public works, communication and other sectors. 4. Appropriate technology Appropriate technology is defined as 'technology that is scientifically sound, adaptable to local needs, and acceptable to those who apply it and those for whom it is used, and that can be maintained by the people themselves in keeping with the principles of self reliance with the resources the community and country can afford.'
