Abstract
[Extract] The Lancet Regional Health–Southeast Asia and The Lancet Global Health joint Series offers a comprehensive review of primary health care (PHC) in south Asia. Focused on Bangladesh, India, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka, the Series describes common challenges in the region including urbanisation, epidemiological transition characterised by the rising prevalence of NCDs, and expansion of the private sector in health care with uneven state response. The lessons that emerge from south Asia are relevant to advancing PHC globally. In this Comment, we consider what other nations can learn from south Asia's experience.
