- W37393300 abstract "The Lebanese Ministry of Health has requested public health experts to assess the most common health problems seen in Primary Health Care (PHC) facilities. This paper presents the results of this assessment conducted in a convenience sample of PHC centers. The assessment aimed at identifying areas of strength and gaps in the current system. Data were drawn from 23 PHC centers in various regions of Lebanon, in addition to an 8-year review of the experience of the Department of Family Medicine at the American University Hospital. In general, 46% of all visits to PHC centers did not include any kind of diagnosis. Most centers provided data on large categories of diseases without breakdown into specific entities. The most commonly identified health problems were hypertension, diabetes and asthma, in addition to eye and ear diseases, cardiologic conditions, and dermatologic problems. Other health problems included ill-defined signs and symptoms associated most likely with mental distress. Dental caries, skin and hair parasites, and respiratory tract infections topped the health problems among children. A qualitative synopsis of all data is presented. The paper highlights the limitations of the current health information system in Lebanon, and suggests corrective measures. It also presents a number of recommendations regarding the optimal use of PHC centers for health education and promotion and for disease prevention." @default.
