Medical Community as Partners
As part of the overall mission, CINHS understands that high quality services can’t just begin and end within the walls of the clinic. Sustainable and accessible quality services have to be available at every stage of the health care continuum. To this end, CINHS devotes considerable time and effort to establishing collegial and mutually supportive working relationships with other health care providers in the city. Part of this work includes introducing the Primary Health Care Model principles as cornerstones to improving and advancing health care equity: accessibility, participatory, integrated / multi-disciplinary / inter-sectoral, essentiality and equity.
