5th International Conference on Primary Care and Global Healthcare

Session Overview

This session examines how health-system design, public policy, financing and economic decision-making influence the performance, sustainability and equity of primary care. It focuses on the policies and system-level mechanisms that determine whether primary care can deliver accessible, high-quality and financially sustainable services.

The session connects health policy with health-system performance and economic evidence, moving beyond individual clinical interventions to examine how governments and health organisations allocate resources, organise services, finance primary care and measure value.

A central question is: How can health-system policy and economic evidence strengthen primary care while improving efficiency, equity, quality and long-term sustainability?

Sub Tracks

• Primary Care Policy & Health-System Governance
• Health Financing & Primary Care Economics
• Health Workforce & Service Delivery Models
• Health-System Performance, Quality & Value-Based Care
• Health Technology Assessment & Economic Evaluation

Scientific Scope & Research Areas

The scientific scope encompasses health systems research, health policy, health economics, health services research, healthcare financing, health workforce research and health technology assessment.

Research may examine health-system governance, financing models, provider payment mechanisms, workforce policies, service organisation, resource allocation, quality measurement, economic evaluation and policy implementation.

Particular emphasis is placed on evidence that can inform system-level decisions: which primary-care models produce better outcomes, how resources can be allocated more efficiently, how policies affect access and equity, and how health systems can remain financially sustainable while responding to changing population needs.
