Abstract:
Primary Health Care (PHC) is a cornerstone of healthcare systems worldwide, but its significance is particularly pronounced in developing countries (WHO,2023) where access to healthcare is often limited.
In these regions, communicable and non-communicable diseases pose significant health challenges.
However, with the advent of health technology, there is a remarkable opportunity to optimize PHC for disease control (Dehnavieh et al., 2015; Ghassemi & Dehnavieh, 2016; Dehnavieh et al., 2015).
Description:
Primary Healthcare (PHC) represents the first point of contact between individuals and the healthcare system.
It serves as the foundation for promoting health, preventing diseases, and providing essential healthcare services.
In developing countries, where resources are constrained, PHC becomes even more critical (WHO,2023).
It ensures equitable access to healthcare services, making it a key driver for achieving Universal Health Coverage.
It covers the full continuum of essential health services, from health promotion to prevention, treatment, rehabilitation and palliative care.
