Primary Healthcare

Primary healthcare is a system of health care consisting of prevention, promotion, and treatment services that are generally provided in community settings such as homes, schools, and workplaces. It is the first level of contact with the health care system and focuses on individual and population-level health outcomes. Primary healthcare plays a critical role in reducing health disparities across populations, improving access to health care, and supporting cost-effective, quality care. It also helps to identify and address health risks, provide preventive care, and promote health education. Primary healthcare is essential for the overall well-being of individuals, families, and communities.
