Service delivery and challenges in healthy life centers: lessons for strengthening primary health care from Turkey

This is one of the few studies examining HLCs in Turkey from the provider perspective. A mixed-methods design enabled a more comprehensive evaluation. Findings can guide targeted improvements in infrastructure, service delivery models, and referral mechanisms within HLCs and provide actionable insights for policymakers and managers to strengthen primary health care, with relevance to other upper-middle-income settings.

Abstract

This is one of the few studies examining HLCs in Turkey from the provider perspective. A mixed-methods design enabled a more comprehensive evaluation. Findings can guide targeted improvements in infrastructure, service delivery models, and referral mechanisms within HLCs and provide actionable insights for policymakers and managers to strengthen primary health care, with relevance to other upper-middle-income settings.
