Objectives of the PHCTF

The five common objectives of the PHCTF are:

1. to increase the proportion of the population with access to primary health care organizations which are accountable for the planned provision of comprehensive services to a defined population;
2. to increase the emphasis on health promotion, disease and injury prevention, and chronic disease management;
3. to expand 24/7 access to essential services;
4. to establish multi-disciplinary teams, so that the most appropriate care is provided by the most appropriate provider; and
5. to facilitate coordination with other health services (such as specialists and hospitals).
