When successfully delivered, primary health care can:
1⃣ Improve equity, promote good health, & reduce risk of disease
2⃣ Limit the financial burden of health-care for households
3⃣ Save governments money

👉 hubs.li/Q017p3NK0 #FinancePHC
Although a staple of high-performing health systems, #PrimaryHealthCare lacks funding, quality, & accessibility in many low- & middle-income countries (LMICs).
