Healthcare providers' perspectives on the organization of health services to manage people with multiple long-term conditions in primary care settings in Kerala, India: a qualitative exploratory study
Our study confirms sub-optimal health system preparedness and highlights the challenges for a transitioning primary care for managing people with MLTCs in one of India's states with a well-developed healthcare system. Our results suggest a need for improved planning and re-organization of primary health services with ongoing training support for HCPs.
