GOBI-FFF

A selective primary health care (PHC) approach referred to collectively under the acronym GOBI-FFF, these are strategies that are being adopted to improve maternal and child health as part of primary care. Respectively they include,

*Growth monitoring
*Oral rehydration therapy
*Breast-feeding
*Immunization
*Family Spacing (planning)
*Female Education
*Food Supplementation

This was further reduced to GOBI only (selective PHC) on the priorities set by donors for poor countries.
