The primary healthcare system in the Qaminis region of Libya: between theory and lived reality

Abstract

Like other Third World countries, Libya aims to achieve the goals of the World Health Organization, which were internationally agreed upon at the Alma-Ata Conference in the former Soviet Union in 1978, which stipulated that basic health care should be accessible to all individuals and families in society. At costs that society and the state can afford, regardless of the color, race, religion, political belief, social status, or economic status of the citizen.
Since health is one of the basic goals of social and economic development, as well as being one of the basic rights of all peoples, Libya has adopted a health policy whose ultimate goal is to provide adequate primary health services (especially in remote areas) and to try to develop them in terms of quantity and quality.
It is considered a primary objective of the social and economic change that the country is currently undergoing, and a necessity for development, and to push it forward, in order to build a healthy human being free from all diseases, and to achieve the desired health goals. The development and civilization of peoples are often linked to the services that governments provide to their citizens in several fields, the most important of which are health and development.
