“The primary health care is the basis of the universal health care and constitutes a key to the policies we have formulated for the health care sector and we are always working on implementing them. Hence, the importance of the primary health care for the Ministry as well as the international organizations concerned in the humanitarian and health care sector since it bears a significant part of the hospitals’ burden, protects the patient from the development of diseases and prevents the outbreak of communicable and non-communicable diseases through the provision of vaccines, primary treatment and health care”, Hasbani noted in a statement.
