Primary Health Care (PHC) is a relatively new concept in the health field. Its objective is to deliver integrated health services (curative and preventative). The Alma-Ata conference in 1978 urged countries to adopt the PHC approach to promote the health of all the people. Despite this world-wide acceptance of PHC, there is an observation that its impact is still relatively unknown. There is a need for various types of evaluation (structure, process and outcome) to determine to what extent the “health by the year 2000” goal is being achieved. The aim of this study is to assess PHC in Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, in terms of structure and outcome. The study was conducted at three PHC centers (A, B & C). The samples of the study included the three chosen centers and 300 clients. Two tools were used to collect data. Instrument I is an assessment sheet measuring resources in terms of availability and quality. Instrument II is a four-point Likert scale measuring clients' satisfaction. Validity and reliability were established before data collection. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used. The results show that the centers' human resources do not measure up the the ideal standards, particularly those in center C. The clinical and support areas are underequipped in centers A and C. The facilities in centers B and C are inadequate. The majority of the clients were moderately satisfied with the services, and no differences were found between Saudis and non-Saudis. |
