Despite its importance, there are still gaps in the delivery of PHC services. This study aims to analyze the healthcare system and the existing gaps to develop strategies for improving PHC services. Methods This study is a meta-analysis of the last ten years of written research on PHC services. The data sources include peer-reviewed articles and other relevant literature on PHC services. The study explores PHC services in different countries, assesses existing research, and creates and implements new strategies for improving medical services in practice Studies focused explicitly on primary health care systems, policies, or interventions were included in the study. Eligibiloty criteria included research conducted within the past ten years to present contemporary insights, studies available in peer-reviewed journals and reputable databases and literature examining the influence of PHC on population health outcomes. This meta-analysis incorporates 38 studies within the last decade. Results The study identifies gaps in PHC services, including issues with access to care, affordability, and quality of care. It provides insights into the challenges faced by PHC systems worldwide, highlighting the need for strategies to address these issues. Conclusions The study contributes to a better understanding of the challenges faced by PHC systems worldwide and provides insights for policymakers and healthcare providers to improve healthcare services. The study’s findings underscore the importance of addressing the gaps in PHC services to improve health outcomes and ensure the provision of equitable and accessible healthcare services.

Assistance des États-Unis au développement du système de soins de santé de GéorgieAprès avoir accédé à l'indépendance en 1991, la Géorgie a connu au cours des premières années une période difficile de guerres patriotiques et civiles, de graves crises économiques créées après l'effondrement de l'Union soviétique. Les États-Unis ont été la principale source de soutien financier, humanitaire et technique de la Géorgie depuis les premiers jours de son indépendance. Le peuple et le gouvernement américains ont apporté des contributions essentielles à la croissance politique, économique et sociale de la Géorgie. Durant cette période des plus difficiles, l'aide américaine a été cruciale pour la Géorgie, qui peut être divisée en trois parties: l'aide humanitaire (médicaments et consommables médicaux), assistance technique (apportant de nouvelles orientations médicales au pays, améliorant la formation du personnel médical et de la société), promotion de l'amélioration du système de santé (via des projets, des programmes et des recherches combinés avec de nombreuses organisations, fondations et instituts de recherche scientifique américains). Ce fait confirme la cohérence des États-Unis dévouement à aider le peuple géorgien dans ses efforts

Background: In order to better adapt to the constantly changing global environment, the main priority of the healthcare system is the stable functioning of the hospital sector, for which it is necessary to execute efficient strategic management processes. The purpose of the research is to study the barriers to effective implementation of strategic plans in hospitals in Tbilisi (Georgia). Methods: As part of the quantitative research, a survey of 23 top managers of 10 large hospitals was conducted. Research results: None of the hospitals employed external consultants for strategic planning. A small number of hospitals attended strategic planning training (13%), only one hospital had a strategic planning committee (4.3%), the majority of hospitals (87%) had a documented strategic plan; Strategic planning was primarily engaged by the management board (69.6%), with doctors participating to a lesser extent (30.4%). Only one-third (34.8%) of hospitals develop their budget according to the strategic plan. Resources (43.5%) and allocation of budget funds (47.8%) are not done in accordance with the goals of the strategic plan. The majority of hospitals are less likely to compare the results of the evaluation of goal achievement indicators with those of other hospitals (52.2%), Only a few of them report the values of actions taken to accomplish the strategic plan's goals to the hospital (43.5%), Most of the hospitals rarely do benchmarking of other hospitals' goal-achieving measures (78.3%). Discussion, Conclusion: Only a small number of hospitals have a strategic management process that as a consequence affects their success in the healthcare market. Due to inappropriate competence, physicians’ strategic planning skills are low. It is reasonable for the state to impose a requirement that the hospitals must produce a written strategic plan and employ a strategic management manager. It is essential to provide educational training on hospital strategic management processes.
