Define Primary Level Care - Public Nutrition?
This is the first level of contact of an individual, the family and the community with the national health system. It is possible to deal with most of the health problems of the community effectively at this level. In India, these services are provided through a network of Primary Health Centres (PHCs) and their Sub Centres (SCs) spread all over the country. The functionaries involved in dispensing these services include the multipurpose health workers, village health guides and trained birth attendants (TBAs or Dais).
