About PHC

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’, making it look like readable English. Many desktop

Expansion of PHC Services

Geographical Expansion of PHC

The PHC concept has been introduced and partially piloted in several other countries including India, China, Pakistan, Cambodia, Liberia, and Thailand. The PHC operation team has trained staffs in India, Pakistan, Malaysia and Thailand.

Modular Expansion of PHC

Given the need to provide further investigation and better assessment by remote doctors through telemedicine, the demand of pathological support has been noted by both patients and doctors. Consequently, the PHC system added a new module called "Tele-Pathology". Additionally, village women have fewer opportunities to see doctors in the city when necessary because they mostly stay at home and manage the household. Sometimes local culture and religious faith act as barriers for women to see a doctor in clinics or hospitals located far away. Therefore, most village women depend on unskilled traditional quacks or rural midwifes for any issues and particularly for Ob-Gyn care. This results in many unwanted health issues and death. Therefore, PHC services found a huge need for MCH care support in the village and subsequently added another new module for MCH care. Similarly, the "Tele-Eye" care module was added in response to the need for ophthalmic care. Thus, the PHC system must gradually expand and create new modules based on the community requirements. One such development work is now underway on "Tele-Dental" care.

PHC for COVID-19

Considering the pandemic situation, we investigated how PHC can be made useful for our PHC registered members. We came up with a slightly modified operational steps to reduce the transmission risk between the potential COVID patients and medical workers. Figure 3 explains how PHCs will operate during COVID-19-like contexts. Unlike the conventional PHCs for NCDs, the local health worker collects the primary symptoms of a patient through a standard questionnaire. If the patient is identified as a potential patient, the PHC COVID-19 box will be sent to the patient’s home temporarily
