In conflict-affected settings, health service delivery is compromised by deteriorated systems and access barriers. This research explores nine primary health care (PHC) delivery models used in Cameroon and Nigeria, highlighting the factors influencing their choice, and proposes a framework to improve PHC service delivery and quality in humanitarian contexts. The framework will be presented in a forthcoming publication.

The findings suggest there is value in further research to test this framework and to explore outcomes of integrated approaches to delivering comprehensive PHC.

This snapshot contains key messages, findings, implications for humanitarian policymakers and practitioners and recommendations for further research.
