Mr Ghebreyesus said investing in primary health care will help to promote health, prevent diseases, advance equity and health security.

, Tedros Ghebreyesus, has said adequate investment in primary care centres will guarantee the attainment of a 6.7 years increase in life expectancy globally.

He said; “At present, health spending in most countries is imbalanced towards secondary and tertiary care. By contrast, 90 per cent of essential health services can be delivered through primary health care. “Fourth, we will help to disseminate local innovations from champion Primary Health Care countries, in particular, the use of digital technology and help countries incorporate these innovations in their investment plans.”

Mr Tufton said although his country’s primary health care system has been a model for neighbouring countries since the 1990s, the challenges that they face as a country is lack of human resource. He said his country is not against mobility of labour, but what he described as inequality of health care and access to health care.
