Article Synopsis
- Primary care is essential in healthcare systems, particularly in Saudi Arabia amid health reforms, but patients face barriers preventing them from accessing Primary Healthcare Centers (PHCs).
- A study conducted with 403 patients in an emergency department used a questionnaire to assess satisfaction with PHC services and identify barriers, revealing that only 28.3% were always satisfied, with organizational and socioeconomic issues being the most significant obstacles.
- The research identified that factors like being female and high educational attainment correlated with lower satisfaction levels, indicating a need for targeted solutions by healthcare policymakers to improve access and satisfaction with PHCs.
