Introduction and meanings of primary health care

Primary health care (PHC) is the foundation of a health system, aiming to provide essential health services that are accessible, affordable, and culturally acceptable. Mastering its definition, history, guiding principles, and scope is crucial for the NUC CCMAS, NBTE, and NCCE exams because PHC concepts underpin many policy, management, and clinical scenarios examined in these syllabi.
