Introduction
The concept of the primary health care is the approach of the whole of the society towards well
being and health that is centered over the preferences and the needs of the families, individuals
and the communities. According to WHO, the context primary health care is rooted within the
commitment towards the equity and social justice and within the recognition of the basic rights
for the highest attainable standards of the health as enshrined in Article 25 of UDHR (Primary
health care. 2019). The majority of a person's health requirements are covered throughout life by
primary health care (PHC); This involves well-being that is physical, emotional and social and is
centred instead of centred on illness (Lohmann et al., 2017). The PHC strategy involves health
promotion, prevention and treatment, therapy, restoration and palliative treatment. PHC is an
entire community strategy.
The primary strategy for health care involves three elements; to address the health requirements
of people through life ; to address the broader determinants of health through multisectoral
policies and measures; and to empower people, relatives and groups to take charge in their own
wellness (Primary health care, 2019).

Part I
Canadian strategy for addressing breast cancer includes the involvement and the decision of the
council. The CCCS (Canadian Strategy for Cancer Control ) Council is a broad multi-stakeholder
group from the leading cancer organizations in Canada. The CSCC objectives are: to decrease
cancer-diagnosed Canadians; to improve cancer quality of life; and to decrease the probability of
cancer death. Inclusive, embedded and thorough leadership approaches to healthcare, which
cover the complete continuum of cancer control, are taken in Canada's Cancer Control Strategy
(CCCS). It uses the strength of the governmental and provincial healthcare system in Canada
through the creation of pan-Canadian networks of specialists for the promotion of intervention
and understanding. The data and instruments needed for taking educated choices on cancer
danger and on cancer control will be provided by an expertise transfer and risk management
platform in governments, non-governmental organizations and private Canada.
The CSCC – pan-Canadian intervention on Cancer Elimination is one of the main strategies in
the elimination of breast cancer.

Social determinants of health
SDOH seems to be the complicated conditions that affect their health when people are
born and reside. It includes abstract variables like political, socioeconomic, as well as cultural
structures and site-specific conditions, including affordable healthcare or even education
systems, supportive environment, excellently-designed communities and healthy eating
accessibility (Gakunga et al., 2019). This definition of the health determinants of society is given
by the World Health Organisation (WHO). The description says further that "the conditions
under which individuals are born, raised, lived, employed and aged are defined by the allocation
of cash, authority and assets at worldwide, domestic and local level." (Social determinants of
health, 2019) These social situations generate societal stratification and lead to health
inequalities between distinct social and financial communities, race and race.
