Primary health care coverage standard

Last updated:
Key points
  • Standards of primary health care coverage apply to refugee camps and to out-of-camp (including urban) situations
  • Community health programmes should be initiated in consultation with local health authorities and community representatives and should strive to have balanced representation of women and men
  • Programmes should provide information on major health problems, health risks, the availability and location of health services, and behaviors that protect and promote good health. They should address and discourage harmful practices

Post emergency phase

The above standards apply to both emergency and post emergency phases.
