Abstract
Many elements for the construction of a health delivery system now exist but they are spotty and diffused. Much effort has been concentrated on primary care affecting 10 percent of the people but ¿ of the costs of the system. Little attention has been paid to the other elements-prevention, protection, tertiary care, and rehabilitation, although these may eventually have greater effectiveness in improving the system as a whole. Attempts must now be made to combine disparate elements into a total system of health care by interfacing the modular components from several subsystems into a single unit.
