One topic, as StudyPath teaches it.

Concept and definitions of Primary Health Care

Primary Health Care (PHC) is the first level of contact between individuals and the health system, encompassing a broad range of services that are essential, accessible, and community‑based. Mastering PHC concepts is vital for the NUC CCMAS, NBTE, and NCCE exams because it forms the foundation for understanding health system organization, equity, and preventive care strategies.
