The objective was to explore health care personnel’s perceptions on how the implementation of the Primary Health Care policy has influenced the provision of Primary Health Care Services.

A systematic coding framework was developed; this included grouping the data into key themes. The study concluded that although the challenges that exist in implementing primary health care are clearly understood, Primary Health Care nurses should be well equipped with the tools and equipment they need to successfully execute their duties.
