Introduction: Continuity of Primary Health Care

Primary health care (PHC) helps prevent, detect and treat health issues early. PHC services provide safe, quality, affordable and accessible care to the whole community.

For many people, PHC is their first contact with the health care system. Continuing these services during the COVID-19 pandemic is therefore important.
