It imposes a responsibility on the state to provide primary healthcare facilities.&nbsp;<\/li><li>A comprehensive primary health structure is crucial for individuals to exercise their fundamental rights to livelihood and dignity. As emphasised in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, every person has the right to freely develop their personality.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Primary health structure is a moral imperative of the state and a necessary precondition for sustainable development:<\/strong> the establishment of a primary health structure is not only a moral imperative for the state but also a vital precondition for sustainable development. Here&#8217;s why:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Health as a Fundamental Right:<\/strong> Access to healthcare, including primary health services, is considered a fundamental right of every individual. It is the responsibility of the state to ensure that its citizens have equitable access to quality healthcare services. By providing a robust primary health structure, the state fulfils its obligation to protect and promote the well-being and rights of its people.&nbsp;<\/li><li><strong>Human Capital Development:<\/strong> A healthy population is a key driver of sustainable development. Investing in primary health care contributes to human capital development by improving the overall health status of individuals. This, in turn, enhances productivity, increases labour force participation, and fosters economic growth. By prioritising primary health, the state sets the foundation for a sustainable and prosperous society.&nbsp;<\/li><li><strong>Prevention and Early Intervention: <\/strong>Primary health structures focus on preventive measures, early diagnosis, and timely intervention. By providing primary healthcare services, the state can effectively address health issues at their early stages, preventing them from progressing into more severe and costly conditions. This approach not only improves individual health outcomes but also reduces the burden on the healthcare system in the long run.&nbsp;<\/li><li><strong>Health Equity and Social Justice:<\/strong> A well-functioning primary health structure ensures equitable access to healthcare services, irrespective of socio-economic status or geographical location. It promotes social justice by addressing health disparities and ensuring that vulnerable and marginalised populations receive the necessary care and support. This contributes to building a fair and inclusive society.&nbsp;<\/li><li><strong>Resilience and Preparedness:<\/strong> A primary health structure plays a crucial role in strengthening a nation&#8217;s resilience and preparedness to address health emergencies and outbreaks. It provides the infrastructure, resources, and expertise needed to respond effectively to public health crises, safeguarding the well-being of the population and minimising the impact on social and economic systems.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span>Conclusion&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Thus, As acknowledged in the 2018 Astana Declaration, the Primary Health Care approach is identified as the most efficient and sustainable solution to address contemporary health challenges. The National Health Policy 2017 also emphasises the importance of delivering an expanded range of assured and comprehensive primary health care services through the Health and Wellness Centers. It advocates allocating a significant proportion of resources towards strengthening primary care.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/edukemy.com\/upsc\/upsc-essay?utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Banner&amp;utm_campaign=Essay\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/edukemy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/UPSC-Essay-Course-1280\u00d7300-1-3.svg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-42688 lazyload\" width=\"781\" height=\"182\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 781px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 781\/182;\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"In_case_you_still_have_your_doubts_contact_us_on_9811333901\"><\/span><strong>In case you still have your doubts, contact us on 9811333901.<\/strong>&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For UPSC Prelims Resources,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/edukemy.com\/upsc-cse-prelims-resource-centre\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Click here<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For Daily Updates and Study Material:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Join our Telegram Channel &#8211;&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/t.me\/WithEdukemy4IAS\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Edukemy for IAS<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>1.
