DOWNLOAD EBOOKFor many citizens primary health care is the first point of contact with their health care system, where most of their health needs are satisfied but also acting as the gate to the rest of the system. In that respect primary care plays a crucial role in how patients value health systems as responsive to their needs and expectations.

Relating these differences to health system outcomes the authors suggest some priority areas for reducing the gap between the ideal and current realities.
