PRIMARY HEALTH CARE (PHC). PHC is a platform for integrated Number of Nursing and Midwifery Personnel per 10,000 Population
health service delivery to meet people’s changing needs at every
age, such as pregnancy care, childhood immunizations, and care for
noncommunicable diseases like high blood pressure (hypertension). It
can support people to live longer, healthier lives.
Investments to scale up access to quality PHC across low- and middle-
income countries, including resources to increase the availability and
retention of staff, could prevent as many as 60 million deaths by 2030.
As a result, average life expectancy could increase by 3.7 years. To
realize these advances, we must ensure quality care that is centered
on people and is continuous, comprehensive, and coordinated to meet
their evolving health needs at all stages of life.
Yet many countries do not have sufficient resources, including
adequate numbers of trained health professionals, to meet their
populations’ basic health needs. Around the world, shortages in skilled
professionals contribute to overworked health care personnel and <15 15-35 35.1-60 60.1-120 120.1-525 Data not available
