Abstract
The study aimed to improve the qualitative and quantitative aspects of primary health care (PHC) services within the context of the District Health System (DHS) approach in Egypt. A cross-sectional analytical research design was chosen to investigate the current research problem. The study samples included 9 health districts, 35 district hospitals and 201 primary health care facilities chosen randomly from eight governorates. The results revealed that the sampled districts (management level) are suffering from many administrative and technical problems. Analysis of district hospitals and PHC units’ data showed that they have a severe defect in regarding to most of the studied essential elements. The researchers concluded that the concept of DHS based on PHC as proposed by the WHO is not very clear to the majority of directors but a very well infrastructure is present allover Egypt that will help in the process of system development and institution to a great extent if properly planned and organized.
