Notes

Today, countries are working to recover from COVID-19, rekindle economic growth, and get back on the path of progress to their most important development goals, including poverty eradication and UHC. Fit-for-purpose primary health care is a powerful resource for this work. As countries continue to walk the talk on PHC reform, their rewards will grow through reduced health care costs, more resilient health systems, stronger human capital, higher productivity—and above all, longer, healthier, more satisfying lives for people.

1. For each of the three reform axes, that reform’s impacts on each of the four PHC shifts is discussed in turn. While points of overlap exist among some of the 12 matrix cells, this structure has important advantages of clarity and usability.

It allows readers interested in a specific reform axis (for example, financing) to easily follow out its implications for each of the PHC change outcomes.

Meanwhile, readers primarily interested in policy and practice solutions supporting one particular outcome (for example, crisis resilience in PHC systems) can quickly find the subsections where the impacts of each main reform thrust on this outcome are discussed. 2.
