Such could include the entire reform of the health care services in those countries. To respond effectively to all those challenges while aiming at disease prevention, raising the health standard of the nation and ensuring universal health coverage, there is a need to adopt a suitable health care system. A system that is ought to be acceptable, professionally sound, able to respond to the peoples’ needs and most important cost-effective i.e. less expensive than secondary and tertiary care. Family medicine is the solution for health care challenges that are facing almost every country in the world and PHC service should be the foundation of any successful health system
