What will the ambitions of primary healthcare be in the 21st century?
Abstract
This article attempts to analyze the problem of the
modernity of primary healthcare, as well as the
reforms to be implemented in a new context
characterized by COVID-19. This article offers
another vision to follow, to build a modern primary
healthcare system. It is a descriptive and analytical
study, which addresses the failure of the health
system in general, as it proposes the reforms
necessary to provide equitable, efficient and
modern primary healthcare. The results clearly
show that we can no longer act unilaterally; multisector efforts at the national level should be
encouraged: we must act, in a preventive way, on
the causes of the disease; international
agreements on the environment, prices of basic
foods and medicines, etc. are much needed to
improve the health status of middle and low
income countries, the case of the majority of
African countries. So, different solutions can be
conveyed by primary healthcare, in order to
improve the whole health system.
