Abstract

Background: Changes in the national health care system, particularly the implementation of managed care and integrated health systems, promote the adoption of primary care as a means of meeting basic health care needs and managing access to specialty services. Materials and Methods: This is cross-sectional study conducted at 23 randomly selected (multistage random sampling) primary health care centers in Babylon governorate. Data were collected during the period starting (November 2020- January 2021). Result:This study demonstrates that 47.8% of the health centers had a fair score regarding the amount of medicines according to actual need, and the availability of medications according to the basic list. While there are three indicators that had a full score (100%) for the presence of an administrative order for the responsible pharmacist and his assistant, and writing the patient’s name and sex on the prescription.
