    A primary health care approach is essential to contemporary nursing roles such as practice nursing.This paper examines the evolution of primary health care as a global strategy for responding to the social determinants of health.

The other essential element involves using leadership skills to promote inclusiveness, empowerment and health literacy, and ultimately, better health.
