Abstract		Health promotion is defined from one point of view in terms of the several action areas among others comprising re-orientation of health services toward health promotion. According to this concept, health services were encouraged to move increasingly from a predominantly curative approach to a more preventive approach. The idea of comprehensive primary health care was launched. The paper is presenting problems related to the application of comprehensive primary health care in practice in the period after adoption of Alma Ata Declaration. The case of Slovenia health care system and characteristics of its transition is presented as an example. The current situation is presented, as well as broader context and possible solutions in the future.
