Primary health care relates to the professional health care received in the community, usually from your GP or practice nurse. Primary health care covers a broad range of health and preventative services, including health education, counselling, disease prevention and screening.
A strong primary health care system is central to improving the health of all New Zealanders and reducing health inequalities between different groups. The launch of the Primary Health Care Strategy in 2001, followed by the establishment of Primary Health Organisations (PHOs), set a new direction and vision for primary health care services in New Zealand.
This site provides information on the background and implementation of the Primary Health Care Strategy.
