Designed to fulfill the directives outlined by the World Health Organization in its terms of reference for WHO Collaborating Centres, Primaryhealthcare4people.org will facilitate the execution of activities aimed at advancing primary healthcare initiatives globally.

The web platform will support WHO’s work as a WHO Collaborating Centre on Primary Health Care, on raising awareness on and disseminating the Astana PHC Declaration and towards the identification and sharing of innovations an best practices in primary care provision, as well as the activities towards creating capacities on PHC and on the implementation of PHC monitoring framework and indicators at country level.

It will also be the space to share best practices, PHC case studies, experiences and technical inputs amongst the network of WHO Collaborating Centres on PHC  that will support knowledge exchange and interaction among stakeholders on the Core strategic levers and the Operational levers by the Framework.

This collaborative web platform fosters the generation and dissemination of implementation knowledge, lessons learnt and tools, contributing to the transformation of service delivery by promoting the transforming Vision Into Action.
