Assessing the status of primary health care (PHC) in the suburbs of Ardabil

Health is the people's inalienable right, and its provision is considered a social goal. The need for health services is planned based on the condition of human societies for survival and maintenance of Health and its promotion in communities. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate and evaluate the status of primary health care and how to provide services to related institutions in the sheds of suburbs of Ardabil. The present research cross-sectionally evaluated the status of primary health care indicators in the suburbs of Ardabil. Research data were collected through the library and field methods, and the tool used was a researcher-made questionnaire that was distributed and completed among all supervisors. The essential aspects of the questionnaire were considered by emphasizing the comprehensiveness of services and components related to the category of primary health care. The results showed that the condition of primary health care components in the study areas is not good. Also, the mean rank of influential research variables in primary health care is not equal, so the highest mean (3.41) belongs to immunization against major infectious diseases, and the lowest norm (1.45) belongs to the preparedness variable. Dealing with natural disasters shows the importance of improving the Health of citizens and protecting them against major infectious diseases by taking the necessary measures. Considering that Health is an inalienable right of every human being, therefore, the fair distribution of health services and social and economic resources related to this field should be the top priority of those in charge, which requires a careful review of the principles. We are providing health services and well-codified planning in this regard, motivating people to enjoy it. In addition, public Health should be involved in self-care and provide the basis for the participation of residents and the private sector in all stages.
