Primary Health Organisation

A Primary Health Organisation (PHO) is like a team that helps people stay healthy or helps them get better when they are sick. They work closely with doctors, nurses, and other healthcare professionals to make sure people have everything they need to stay healthy.

PHOs can help you find a doctor or nurse, and they make sure you understand how to stay healthy by giving you helpful advice, like eating fruits and vegetables, getting enough sleep, and exercising. They might also organize special programs to help you quit smoking, manage stress or lose weight.

PHOs are there for everyone, but they often focus on helping people who might not have a lot of money or who live in areas where it's hard to find a doctor. They want to make sure that everyone has access to good health care, no matter where they live or how much money they have.

So, think of a PHO like a superhero team that helps you stay healthy and strong!
