In addition to practitioner work, it underscored the significance of administering holistic care to individuals and families, grounded in the principles of family-centered care and community participation, in alignment with primary care attributes. These encompassed “Building trust and rapport in care, Care on first contact basis, Accessible care, Comprehensive care, Integrated care, Continuous care, and Consultation and Referral system”. Furthermore, the article furnished a practical illustration exemplifying the implementation of these principles for the benefit of those who were interested.
