Center of Excellence in Primary Health Care

Guiding principles that drive our commitment to healthcare excellence

Programs / Center of Excellence in Primary Health Care

What is Center Of Excellence in Team-based Primary Health Care

The US National Academy of Medicine (1) and World Bank (2) reports conclude that team-based, community-oriented Primary Health Care (PHC) that includes disease prevention, health education, and care of NCDs will improve health outcomes. This strategy is essential to achieve universal access to health services.

These expert groups support conducting demonstration projects to show the clinical and financial value of this approach. In line with these recommendations and the National priorities LeBoHA established a Center of Excellence in Team-Based, Community-Oriented PHC to care for patients at Motebang hospital, in the Leribe district.

This COE is designed to implement a population health approach to health education, preventive services and wellness; provide continuity of care for non-communicable diseases; and collect data to demonstrate the clinical and financial value.

Eligibility Criteria for accessing services at the COE

Category 1:

Patients who are identified by COE clinicians or via referral from Motebang OPD or inpatient wards who have advanced and/or complex chronic medical condition(s). Specific clinical criteria (e.g. blood pressure and glycemic values) have been delineated.

Category 2:

Patients who have complex medical needs similar to those in Category 1 but who are not enrolled in COE and instead benefit from telehealth consultation between their health center or OPD provider and a COE Family Medicine or Pediatrics specialist.

Patient Stories

Hear what our patients have to say about their experiences with our programs.

COE Patient A

"Excellent program! One of the first patients recruited to COE in February 2024 included a 65 years old patient living with HIV and advanced hypertension (HTN). The COE director's initial concern was that the patient had little social support, apart from a grandson who is in school."

COE Patient B

"The patient reported that 'even before the doctor handed back over my bukana (patient medical care booklet), I was already feeling better because I had the doctor's full attention.' These stories illustrate a common theme that patients feel respected, listened to, and excited about this new way of interacting with their primary care doctors."
