Primary Health Care

Lilyford primary health care
Lilyford Foundation’s efforts in Primary Health Care (PHC) focus on health as an asset, rather than ill-health as a burden. This shows in our approach to community health and wellbeing as we prioritize factors like proximity, capacity and sustainability.

According to WHO and UNICEF, Primary Health Care is a whole-of-society approach to health that aims at ensuring the highest possible level of health and well-being and their equitable distribution by focusing on people’s needs and as early as possible along the continuum from health promotion and disease prevention to treatment, rehabilitation and palliative care, and as close as feasible to people’s everyday environment.

We are working assiduously alongside our key stakeholders to scale up primary health care (PHC) interventions across low-income communities and rural areas through significant donations of public health goods, advocacy and empowering individuals, families, and communities for increased social participation and enhanced self-care and self-reliance in health. This is based on the recognition that the enjoyment of the highest attainable standard of health is one of the fundamental rights of every human being without distinction.
