Question

What is the constitution of primary health centre?

Answer 1

Primary health care includes doctors visits, check-ups, and immunisations. Most primary health care services are provided at the local level through the district health system, which is part of the provincial health system.
The district health system is divided into health districts and sub-districts. The boundaries of these districts should match those of the district and Metropolitan municipalities (s. 29 (2) of the National Health Act) while the boundaries of the sub-district should match the boundaries of your local municipality (s. 30 of the National Health Act). Health districts and sub-districts are responsible for the delivery of primary health care at clinics, district health centres and district hospitals within their boundaries.
District health managers are responsible for the development and management of district health budgets and strategic plans, including a district human resource plan (s. 33 of the National Health Act). These plans and budgets must be made available to you upon request.
