Abstract
Some inadequacies in implementing the concept of health maintenance within traditional health practices are discussed in the light of measures of need for such services (morbidity, longevity) and selected research findings on provision and receipt of such services. Identification is made of some characteristics of a comprehensive health care system sufficient to support a concept of health maintenance.Keywords
