ACOSTA RAMIREZ, Naydú  and  VEGA ROMERO, Román. The Case of the Implementation of the Strategy of Comprehensive Primary Health Care in the Locality of Suba, Bogotá - Colombia. Rev. Gerenc. Polit. Salud [online]. 2008, vol.7, n.14, pp.125-144. ISSN 1657-7027.

The study presents the situational analysis of the strategic advances and gaps of the implementation of the strategy of comprehensive primary health care (APIS) in Suba. The study follows a case study methodology and mixed-method techniques. The investigation illustrates that the achievements are due to a government structure with political, governmental, and community support, and leadership from the health sector. This has allowed the development of a management model founded in social efficiency and quality. The highlighted results include a successful territorialization with a wide coverage, characterization, and attention of priority groups. However, there are challenges such as the impact in the financial sustainability of the specialized services of the hospital, and the adequate development of the family and community focus, among others.
