Primary health care is a fundamental pillar of midwifery practice and a core component of the Board Licensure Examination for Midwives in the Philippines. It encompasses a holistic approach to healthcare delivery, focusing on preventive, promotive, and curative services that are accessible, equitable, and community-oriented. Midwives play a vital role in primary health care, providing essential maternal and child health services, health education, family planning, and community empowerment. Understanding the principles and strategies of primary health care is essential for midwives to effectively address the diverse health needs of individuals and communities they serve.
The licensure examination evaluates candidates' knowledge and understanding of primary health care concepts, including the Alma Ata Declaration, health promotion strategies, intersectoral collaboration, and the role of midwives in promoting public health. Mastery of primary health care principles not only ensures success in the licensure examination but also prepares midwives to deliver comprehensive and compassionate care to women and families across the Philippines.
