Primary Care
Primary health care is the delivery of health care services by a healthcare professional to individuals when they are sick or in need of health care, without the use of hospitals or other institutions. Primary health care is one of the basic services of any governmental and private organization. It is the first level of contact within the healthcare system, between the service provider and the patient.
Primary health care is a system of health care that is accessible to everyone. The World Health Organization defines it as “a package of essential services that individuals and communities receive from a health system.” Primary health care (PHC) has become an important part of the health care system for many people in many countries. The World Health Organization and the United Nations work together with other organizations to promote PHC around the world.
