WHO European Centre for Primary Health Care annual report 2019

In 2019, the WHO European Centre for Primary Health Care worked closely with the WHO Regional Office for Europe, other programmes, partners and, most importantly, the countries, to advance primary health care work along three pillars — direct country support, analysis and policy development and knowledge management. Key achievements in 2019 include supporting close to 20 countries across the Region in assessing primary health care, measuring performance and developing policies on health services delivery, designing a country assessment framework for the delivery of long-term care, and developing a list of 10 policy accelerators for strengthening primary health care. This report details all the activities in 2019 according to the three pillars of work and provides insight into the Centre’s new strategic direction for the future.
