PRIMARY HEALTHCARE: EX POST FACTO HIGHLIGHTS
BRITISH RULE (1810-1968)
• Free healthcare services under the “Poor Law”• End of 1959: 48 Static Dispensaries, 4 Mobile Dispensaries, School Dental Services,
27 Estate Hospitals• Recommendations of the 1960 Report on Social Policies and Population Growth
include universal coverage of health services, the setting up of a National FamilyDoctor Service (NFDS) and the implementation of a Compulsory ContributoryHealth Insurance Scheme (CCHIS).
• The NFDS will provide ambulatory care services, offer patients a free choice ofdoctors, to support continuity of care at home and to reduce morbidity andpremature mortality from both vector borne diseases and NCDs.
POST INDEPENDENCE (1968)
• The NFDS and CCHIS were not implemented.• Inheritance of a frail health system from the British.• Free health care services sustained.• Dispensaries were upgraded into AHCs and CHCs.• Additional AHCs & CHCS were set up to strengthen universal coverage• Public Health activities were integrated in the PHC system• Master Plan on PHC

PRIMARY HEALTHCARE: EX POST FACTO HIGHLIGHTS
POST ALMA ATA (1978)
• Golden age of PHC development was observed in the 2nd decade in which community participation and involvement in health were promoted.
• 50 CHCs in the main island of Mauritius and 5 in Rodrigues were constructed with community financing.
• The National Trust Fund for Community Health was enacted by Parliament to promote community participation in health.
• Local Health Committees were set up for constructing CHCs, managing them and for the organization of health promotion activiites.
• 2 AHCs with inpatient facilities for deliveries were set up with funding from the World Bank.
• These 2 AHCs were eventually converted into Mediclinics based on the South African Model and were fully computerized.

(with the Technical Support of WHO)
Objective of Assessment
To conduct a comprehensive PHC assessment; identifying strengths,weaknesses, and a set of evidence-informed policy options to improve PHC inMauritius. Special attention was paid to exploring policy options for familymedicine training and shifting attendances from hospital emergency andunsorted outpatients to PHC facilities.
Methodology
Interview questions based on the WHO EURO NCD HSS approach. Theperformance initiative (PHCPI) framework was used in tandem with the 2010WHO Health System Framework to analyse the critical components of thecurrent primary care system. Findings were presented using the PHCPI indicatorheadings. Desk review of policy documents, peer-reviewed studies, and greyliterature supplemented in-person site visits and interviews with patients,practitioners, and policymakers.

• Consider extended hours if demand has increased for PHC
Priority and recommended timing for the introduction of each policy option
