Primary health care policy advocacy in Europe: A cross-sectional study of family medicine associations
Respondents highlighted the need for a more unified strategy to address common PHC challenges across Europe. WONCA Europe's Working Party on PA supports national efforts through exchange of best practices, research support, and promoting FM at national and European levels. Continued research and advocacy were viewed as essential for sustaining effective and equitable PHC in Europe.
