The “Soins de Santé de Base” (SSB) descriptor is the Tunisian name for “Soins de Santé Primaires” (SSP), implemented in early 1980. The aim of this reflection was to compare the practices of SSB in Tunisia with the principles of the PHC vision.
Based on the essential PHC conferences, from Alma Ata (1978), to Astana (2018), via the Millennium Development Summit (2000), the Sustainable Development Goals (2015) and Universal Health Coverage (2017), the SSB policy has been reviewed, through its conformity with the PHC vision and the relevance of its programs to current health needs.
