Person Centered Medicine, Primary Care, and Public Health

Ensuring that members of a society are healthy and reaching their full potential is the duty of each nation This necessitates preventing disease and injury, promoting health and well-being, assuring a healthy environment in which people can live together and the provision of timely, accessible, effective, and coordinated health care [1]. Public health is about the health of people made up of individual persons each with their own unique biomedical, psychological, social, and spiritual elements within the culture of their own societies. Primary health care (PHC) is set up to meet each person’s needs, providing a point of first contact for whatever a person might consider a health or health care issue. Thus, primary care service should be comprehensive and enable sustained relationships between patients and health care professionals over time This continuity of care allows deeper knowledge and understanding of individuals' health status, behaviours, needs, preference, and goals.
