Abstract:

Primary Health Care (PHC) has been promulgated for over two decades as a global strategy for ensuring basic health care for all people. PHC is characterized by equity, accessibility, availability of resources, social participation, intersectoral community action, and cultural sensitivity. While PHC can be discussed as philosophy or a process, it is critical that PHC be understood as a community focus in health care that differs from a primary care focus on individuals. Capturing PHC components in community-based interventions in order to advance the development of a rigorous research base requ

Abstract:

Background Approximately 90% of the 253 million blind or visually impaired people worldwide live in low- and middle-income countries. Lack of access to eye care is why most people remain or become blind. The World Health Organization Regional Office for Africa (WHO-AFRO) recently launched a primary eye care (PEC) package for sub-Saharan Africa—the WHO-AFRO PEC package—for integration into the health system at the primary health care (PHC) level. This has the potential to increase access to eye care, but feasibility studies are needed to determine the extent to which the health system has the c

PurposeFor over 40 years, Canadian and international bodies have endorsed comprehensive primary health care (PHC), yet very little work has been done to describe how services and programs are delivered within these organizations. Because health equity is now of greater interest to policy makers and the public, it is important to describe an evidence-informed framework for the delivery of integrated and equitable PHC. The purpose of this paper is to describe the development of a “Model of Health and Well-being” (MHWB) that provides a roadmap to the delivery of PHC in a successful network of com

The addressing of needs arising from a holistic Aboriginal construct of health is discussed. The paper adopts a definition of equity as equal access for equal need, but with three departures from how this is normally expressed (1) the use of ?capacity to benefit? as the basis of need - as opposed to the more conventional ?

Abstract:

The importance of primary health care (PHC) research is well understood yet conducting this research can be challenging. Barriers include a lack of funding, support and opportunity. In 2000 the Australian government introduced the Primary Health Care Research, Evaluation and Development (PHCRED) Strategy to address the gap in high-quality research. One component of the strategy, the Research Capacity Building Initiative, provided funding to university departments of general practice and rural health, allowing them to expand their pool of researchers and produce more research relevant to policy

Abstract:

The success of the Primary Health Care (PHCs) Centres in delivering health services at the community level is largely dependent on the effectiveness, efficiency, and management support being provided by the PHC Agencies. This study identified institutional capacity needs of selected PHC Agencies that will require urgent attention as a veritable means of the revitalisation of the PHC facilities and the capacity of these Agencies to operationalise the Basic Healthcare Provision Fund (BHCPF).

Abstract:

Introduction:Ambulatory care sensitive conditions (ACSCs) are health conditions for which appropriate primary care intervention could prevent hospital admission. ACSC hospitalization rates are a well established parameter for assessing the performance of primary health care (PHC). Although this indicator has been extensively used to monitor the performance of PHC systems in peacetime, its consideration during disasters has been neglected. The World Health Organization (WHO) has acknowledged the importance of PHC in guaranteeing continuity of care during and after a disaster for avoiding negati

Abstract:

Introduction: Nursing in Bhutan had its beginning in the early 1960s, approximately 20 years prior to the Alma Ata Conference. From basic nursing care and housekeeping roles, Bhutanese nurses have now occupied central place in nursing service, administration and management and education. Nursing education has progressed from certificate level in the 1960s to bachelor, master and PhD levels in 2014. Although nurses have been closely associated with Primary Health Care development in Bhutan, apart from the role of the Auxiliary Nurse Midwives, nurses have rarely been explicitly associated with t

Background The burden of visual impairment and avoidable blindness has been attributed to the shortage and poor distribution of adequately trained eye care personnel. In the district health system, primary health care (PHC) nurses are the first point of contact for eye care patients. To provide adequate eye care, the nurses in PHC clinics apply their knowledge on basic eye health to ensure best practices and management for patients that present at their clinics. Anecdotal evidence regarding the knowledge and practices of these PHC professionals is scarce. The purpose of this study was to evalu
