The concept of community health is poorly understood by the average clinician. Community health is characterized by the unique emphasis of looking at disease in the community rather than in the individual. Its field ranges from the running of hospitals and health departments to the coordination and guidance of the whole medical profession. In addition to their basic patient-centred approach all doctors need to develop a complementary community-orientated perspective.
