Primary health care (PHC) includes the most basic package of essential health services and products that are needed to prevent disease, promote health, and manage illness—covering about 80 percent of a person’s health needs over their lifetime.

That’s why PHC systems are widely recognized as central to the pursuit of health equity. At every stage of life, access to integrated PHC makes a meaningful difference in a person’s health and wellbeing.

At PATH, we bring together end-to-end system innovation, transformative partnerships, and evidence-based decision-making to help countries and multisectoral partners reimagine PHC—through a people-centered approach that gives everyone a fair chance at health and protects against health threats.
