The effects on the uptake of services offered in primary health care of a demonstration community mental health project in Pakistan were assessed. A subdistrict with the project was compared with a matched area without the project over 7 years. Routinely collected information on service use was used, including the detection and treatment of mental disorders. Compared with the comparison subdistrict, the index subdistrict showed an increase in use of primary care by men, reduction in pregnancy rate, increased use of antenatal care, reduced maternal mortality, increased immunization coverage, and increased detection and treatment of mental disorders.


In this chapter, the evolution and growth of worksite clinics is discussed. Worksite clinics are not a new phenomenon. Prior to the 1980s, many large employers operated onsite company clinics to treat work-related injuries. However, many of these clinics closed in the 1980s and 1990s because of the decline in heavy industry and manufacturing sectors and the reduction in workplace hazards. Recently, there has been a significant resurgence of worksite clinics. The new generation of clinics is markedly different in that their main focus is on primary care, health promotion, and wellness rather than occupational injuries. The authors discuss in-depth the operations, stakeholders, and outcomes of care in worksite clinics. They predict that worksite clinics seem to be well positioned to thrive in a post-reform healthcare environment.
