Brief description
This project evaluated primary care adequacy for the elderly, identifying structural and functional barriers. Recommendations included space restructuring for accessibility, ramp-friendly designs, and staff capacity building. Outreach efforts, like equipment availability and awareness campaigns, aimed to enhance service delivery.
