Special issue: COVID-19 and Primary Care

This special issue of BJGP Open documents how the COVID-19 pandemic is influencing the ability of international health systems to deliver high quality primary care. We welcomed primary research and comparative analyses that elucidated differences in international responses linked to primary data on how access, continuity, comprehensiveness, coordination, and person-focused care are changing, and the subsequent impact on health and social outcomes. Documenting the outcomes of the myriad natural experiments playing out around the globe generated important new evidence on the contribution of different primary care functions to the health of societies.
