WHO defined primary care “as socially appropriate, universally accessible, scientifically sound first level care provided by a suitably trained workforce supported by integrated referral systems and in a way that gives priority to those most needed, maximizes community and individual self-reliance and participation and involves collaboration with other sectors, including health promotion, illness prevention, care of the sick, advocacy and community development” [1].
