Public Consultation “Guidelines for the Development of Pharmaceutical Services in Primary Health Care”

 Document (1.09 MB)

The Initiative for developing the Pharmaceutical Service (SF) based on Primary Health Care (PHC) began in late 2008 as part of the activities promoted by the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) to strengthen health systems in the Region of the Americas.

As a part of this initiative, the draft document Guidelines for the Development of Pharmaceutical Services in Primary Health Care was prepared. This document presents a new focus on individuals, families and communities, where the medicine is an essential element.

The focus of this document is to guide the countries in the Region of the Americas for the implementation of pharmaceutical services based on PHC. The guidelines can be used by Ministries, State Secretariats and Departments of Health, academia, NGOs and all those civil society organizations that are working with PHC with a renewed vision by PAHO/WHO.
