The cornerstone of primary health care is the relationship between frontline health workers and the community members they serve. For this relationship to thrive, each person must be valued, capable, and hopeful in the future.
Primary health care is centered on the needs and preferences of individuals, families, and communities. It ensures people receive comprehensive care to prevent disease, promote health and well-being, and manage illness. Successful primary care systems will depend upon the ability of frontline health workers to provide high quality care while inspiring healthy behavior change and encouraging regular engagement in care.
“Primary health care forms the foundation of health systems, ensuring all people stay healthy and get care when and where they need it.”
Primary health care delivery starts at the last mile, with the relationship between families and frontline health workers at its core.
A strong primary health care system allows people to access the care they need in their communities when they need it. Frontline health workers must be trained and empowered to deliver quality care and systems must enable and incentivize families to receive care. When primary health care works, people are connected with trusted health workers and supportive systems throughout their lives.
