“…There is an induced lack of awareness of the fact that primun non nocere assumes a careful deliberation of when and when not to intervene and the possible harm caused by therapeutical or assessment procedures (10) . The strict meaning of primun non nocere within the PHC sphere can be found in the concept of quaternary prevention, which seeks to avoid harm caused by excessive medical care (7,10) . The excessive use of technology and technicality is linked to economic interests, given that certain sectors of the health industry have a vested interest in offering more lucrative services such as invasive procedures.…”

Little research has been conducted to date on the role of primary health care (PHC) in the prevention of healthcare associated infections (HCAIs). The present article is a theoretical study of the principle of primum non nocere and aims to promote reflection on the role of PHC in HCAI prevention with emphasis on practical recommendations. The indirect and direct roles of PHC in HCAI prevention are debated in light of this guiding principle. With respect to the indirect role of PHC, we discuss the issues of hospital-centrism and ambulatory care-sensitive conditions. The article outlines a number of challenges faced by health services related to PHC's direct role in HCAI prevention, highlights seven key components of HCAI prevention programmes within the PHC sphere and provides practical recommendations for HCAI control and prevention. DESCRIPTORES RESUMENEl rol de la Atención Primaria a la Salud (APS) en la prevención de Infecciones Relacionadas con la Asistencia a la Salud (IRAS) rara vez se discute en la literatura. El presente artículo tiene como meta desarrollar un estudio teórico con base en el principio Primum non nocere, trayendo a la luz una reflexión acerca del papel de la APS en la prevención de IRAS con énfasis en las recomendaciones de prácticas. Los roles indirecto y directo de la APS en la prevención de IRAS se debaten teniendo en cuenta este principio orientador. En el rol indirecto de la APS se discuten el tema del hospitalocentrismo y los internamientos por condiciones sensibles a la atención primaria. Con respecto al rol directo se apuntan los retos a superarse. Se señalan siete componentes esenciales para el desarrollo de un programa de prevención de IRAS en la APS y las respectivas recomendaciones.
