GlohMed’s new publication digs out vast differences in primary healthcare systems in LMICs and the complexity regarding service points. It emphasises First Referral Hospitals (FRH) concept and the importance of strengthening them to deliver an improved care for patients acute to chronic illnesses. In this paper, you’ll also read country case studies from 8 LMICs (Myanmar, Vietnam, South Africa, Sri Lanka, Rwanda, Burundi, Papua New Guinea and #Nepal).

GlohMed Director and investigator Dr. Suraj Bhattarai co-authors this important #HPSR paper, jointly with 5 other medical researchers from Health Systems Collaborative at the Nuffield Department of Medicine, University of Oxford, published in an esteemed journal Health Policy and Planning at LSHTM.
