Emerging from this pandemic, countries and donors must prioritize investments in primary health care as the cornerstone of the global recovery, and the most inclusive, effective and efficient way to protect peoples health and wellbeing. As the world moves from emergency response to the control phase of COVID-19, it will be essential to utilize primary health care to ensure everyone has access to testing and treatments, as well as a future vaccine. Governments should maintain and even increase investment in primary health care, as a cost-effective best bet in avoiding preventable deaths and helping to maintain confidence in the health systems ability to meet basic needs. This working group will look at what is required to ensure PHC remains a priority in resource allocation decisions.
