Transforming primary health care during the pandemic

The Primary Health Care Country Vignettes series illustrates the continued importance and transformation of primary health care across the WHO European Region during the COVID-19 pandemic.

These pragmatic and action-oriented publications describe policy instruments that countries have implemented to strengthen the role of primary health care during the pandemic response, as well as to maintain essential health services.
