Primary healthcare refers to the first point of contact with health services that allows for better quality of life through swift diagnoses and treatment.
It’s been explained that primary healthcare, which includes GPs, dentists, pharmacists and optometrists, is based on caring for a patient’s basic needs rather than treating a specific disease.
Primary healthcare plays a very significant role in preventive care, allowing early detection of any physical or mental problems, which gives the patient enough time to seek further treatment.
In South Africa more than three quarters of its citizen don’t have access to medical aid. This means that millions of people are reliant on state facilities for their basic healthcare needs.
Unfortunately, state facilities are already overcrowded and understaffed, leaving many sick people vulnerable because they’re not able to get the quality medical attention they need.
