Abstract

Primary Health Centers have been a critical component of India's healthcare landscape, designed to provide accessible and affordable medical services. However, the term "Primary Health Center" may not adequately convey the comprehensive and family-centered approach that modern healthcare necessitates. Changing the terminology of "Primary Health Center" to "Family Health Center" represents a strategic move toward strengthening public health services in India. This change embodies a commitment to holistic family-centered care, integrated health services, and community engagement. By emphasizing the importance of families in health care, this initiative can help address the diverse health needs of the population and improve health outcomes across communities.

将 "初级保健中心(PHC)"更名为 "家庭保健中心(FHC)":到 2047 年加强印度公共卫生服务的战略愿景。
初级保健中心一直是印度医疗保健领域的重要组成部分,旨在提供方便且价格合理的医疗服务。然而,"初级保健中心 "一词可能无法充分表达现代医疗保健所需的以家庭为中心的综合方法。将 "初级保健中心 "一词改为 "家庭保健中心 "是印度加强公共卫生服务的一项战略举措。这一变化体现了对以家庭为中心的整体护理、综合医疗服务和社区参与的承诺。通过强调家庭在医疗保健中的重要性,这一举措有助于满足人口的不同健康需求,改善各社区的健康状况。
