Primary Healthcare in a Global Context
Introduction
Primary Healthcare is said to be a broad category of health that incorporates the defined
terms of the World Health Organization (WHO) service provision. It explains the approaches of
health policies to patients through the provision of primary healthcare services to a better public
health condition. Its focus is to prevent illness, keep people healthy, and improve the
management of chronic and complex conditions. Besides, it aims at providing improved
healthcare for all the Australian people equitably and minimizes the unnecessary frequent
hospitalization (World Health Organization. 2016). In this assignment, identify, discuss, and
analyze the critical strategies in the National PHC Strategic framework and explaining the
epidemiological factors associated with the chosen primary healthcare.
Social determinants are defined as the social and economic factors that influence the health
of people and their communities. These factors heavily rely on power, money, and wealth, which
are owned by people that will help in shaping the choice of policies they make towards health.
Besides, biological, psychosocial, and behavioral factors can as well be contributing significant
consequences to human health (Cooper et al. 2016). To mention, are the key strategies identified
to improve the framework of National primary healthcare.
 Improving quality, performance, safety, and accountability;
 Growing access and reducing inequality;
 Coming up with a patient-focused and integrated healthcare system; and
 Promoting the focus on health prevention and promotion, early intervention, and
screening.

In partnership with the commonwealth, the Australian state is required to come up with a
state-specific plan to execute the framework. The projects will define the specific actions to be
taken and the necessary laws put in place to attain the structure. Health equality is achieved when
every individual in society can reach his or her health potentials without any limiting
disadvantage.
Picking strategy two, improving access and reduce inequality. This implies healthcare is
admitted via an integrated service system that delivers high-quality care in every part of the
country and elaborates the gaps comprehensively in the services provided. The following are the
potential actions that are underlined to eradicate this problem.
First, interpret the new and existing the intelligence of the health system, including economic
modeling, research, and need assessments into a proved planning and service delivery. This
action aims at improving the National Health Service by taking into account evidence,
workforce, and availability of evidence and the infrastructural needs that are components of the
required healthcare model for the communities. Nevertheless, innovative models form an
essential base for infrastructural advancement. The commonwealth and the member countries
require these basics to battle the uprising intelligence in the health care service provision (Daniel,
Bornstein, & Kane, 2018). For the drive to need development to catch up, it will require the
hand of the government in reinforcing the set principles and supporting the necessary financial
requirements. The government too, should seek to improve the equity and accessibility of
resources to aid in the planning and service delivery for its entire health system.
The second potential action is to promote an extended relationship between the general
practitioners and the consumers of health services to advance on the wellbeing of people and
their families. The first clinical point to visit when people are sick is the GP. Those that have
