Primary Health Care (PHC) refers to essential health services provided at the first point of contact with the healthcare system, focusing on preventive care, health promotion, and managing common health issues.

PHC includes preventive services like vaccinations and screenings, management of chronic conditions, treatment for minor illnesses, and health education.

PHC promotes early detection of health issues, reduces hospital visits, and improves overall community health by focusing on prevention and health promotion.

PHC services are provided by general practitioners, family doctors, nurses, nurse practitioners, and other healthcare professionals.

Spirometry is a lung function test that measures how much air you can inhale and exhale, and how quickly you can do it.

Wear loose clothing, avoid heavy meals or intense exercise before the test, and follow any specific instructions from your doctor.

No, spirometry is non-invasive and painless. You will be asked to breathe into a device, which may feel slightly uncomfortable but is not painful.

The test itself takes about 15-30 minutes. Results are usually available immediately or within a few hours.

The frequency depends on your health conditions and doctor’s recommendations. It may be performed regularly for ongoing monitoring or as needed for diagnosis.

Recovery includes managing pain, following post-operative care instructions, and monitoring thyroid function. Most patients return to normal activities within a few weeks.
