Emergency, critical and operative care services for effective primary care

The authors argue that countries and regions continue to emphasize the importance of timely access to emergency, critical and operative services, and they increasingly highlight the need for integrated approaches to service organization. In response to these calls, as part of its recent transformation process, WHO has established a dedicated Clinical Services and Systems unit in the Department of Integrated Health Services. Through these and other efforts across the levels of the organization, WHO is committed to supporting countries’ efforts to strengthen health service delivery through enabling ECO-systems built around robust primary care.
