Primary Level of Care

First-line healthcare in cities and towns, where people first connect with the healthcare system,
staffed by doctors, nurses, midwives, and traditional healers. An example of primary level care is
healthcare delivered in community settings, such as general practitioner offices or dental clinics.
2. Secondary Level of Care
Basic medical care provided by trained physicians in hospitals or clinics, either privately owned
or government-run, and often administered by specialized doctors. It specializes in treating patients
with severe or complex health issues, often requiring a specialist's expertise. Secondary care is needed
for conditions like cancer, severe infections, and broken bones.
3. Tertiary Level of Care
Tertiary care is advanced medical treatment provided by specialists in modern facilities, focusing
on complex and specialized procedures over an extended duration. Tertiary care, available regionally
or nationally, may require travel due to limited accessibility, causing delays and higher healthcare
expenses. Examples of tertiary care services include specialized treatments such as cancer care,
neurosurgery, cardiac surgery, organ transplants, plastic surgery, and so on where it requires higher
medical costs and longer treatment time.
