Plus on est préparé aux situations adverses, que ce soit un désastre ou un soulèvement de caractère local, plus il est probable que les médecins de famille seront en position de continuer leurs prestations de services et plus il est probable que les patients continueront à avoir accès aux services nécessaires.

The more we can do to prepare for adverse situations, whether it is a disaster or a locality based upheaval of some sort, the more likely it is that family doctors will be in a position to continue to offer the services required, and the more likely it is that patients will continue to have access to those necessary services.

Donald Li, WONCA President writes: Earlier this year, during the World Health Assembly, WONCA agreed to lead a piece of work on the importance of the Primary Care Team to achieve Universal Health Coverage. As family doctors we recognize the importance of working with qualified professional colleagues who provide essential interface and inputs to the delivery of a comprehensive primary care system.
