Abstract:
Strengthening primary healthcare (PHC) capacity is a critical pathway in China′s ongoing healthcare system reform to build a robust healthcare network foundation. While China′s PHC capacity shows a trend of continuous improvement, a significant gap remains in achieving the goal of comprehensive diagnosis and treatment for common and frequently occurring diseases, as well as standardized management of chronic diseases. Based on a literature review and integrating relevant domestic and international research findings, this article defines the core connotation of PHC capacity, systematically analyzes its current status and main challenges, and proposes strategies for optimizing PHC capacity and directions for future development.
