Detailed Solution

Primary Health Centre is one of the village-level health centre.
Primary Health Centres (PHCs) are medical institutions that provide comprehensive health care facilities like preventive, curative, and promotive services to all the people living within the demarcated geographic area. They are also called the "cornerstone" of rural health services. PHCs act as a referral unit for 6 sub-centers and sometimes refer cases to the Community Health Centres (CHCs). One Primary Health Centre at a time covers a population of 30,000 in plain areas. The number decreases to 20,000 in hilly and tribal areas. Generally, there is one physician, 4-6 beds for patients with minimal diagnostic facilities. These act as the point of contact between the village community and the medical officer.
