Abstract Background Primary Health Care (PHC) plays a crucial role in managing the COVID-19 pandemic, with only 8% of cases requiring hospitalization. However, PHC data often goes unnoticed on European government dashboards and media discussions. This project aims to examine official information patient care during pandemic Europe, specific objectives: (1) Describe PHC’s clinical pathways for acute cases, including long-term facilities, (2) indicators, (3) Develop activity (4) Explain...
The COVID-19 pandemic has necessitated changes in European healthcare systems, with a significant proportion of cases being managed on an outpatient basis primary (PHC). To alleviate the burden facilities, many countries developed contact-tracing apps and symptom checkers to identify potential cases. As evolved, Union introduced Digital Certificate for travel, which relies vaccination, recent recovery, or negative test results. However, integration between these PHC not been thoroughly...
The COVID-19 vaccination campaign in several European countries involved collaboration between public health and Primary Health Care (PHC).
