Primary Healthcare in the Post-COVID era: what can we expect?
Keywords:
primary healthcare, post-COVID, global health, Pierre Bourdieu
Abstract
COVID-19 has negatively impacted primary health care (PHC) activities globally. Some argue that now is the time, more than ever, to strengthen PHC in a post-COVID world. It could be argued that COVID-19 revealed the failures of PHC. Global aid agencies, starting with the World Bank, are already calling for the same technical solutions that, by themselves, have not addressed PHC failures in the past. A deeper understanding of the complexity of PHC failures might provide greater clarity to forge a path forward for PHC. Bourdieu’s theory of fields might be a useful framework for that understanding.
