Who Primary54 is for
“Across Africa, primary healthcare is carried every day by medical officers, general practitioners, family physicians and clinical teams who meet patients first—and often stay with them the longest.”
Primary54 is built for every clinician doing that work: in community clinics, outpatient departments, emergency units, maternity services and district hospitals.
Case-based learning
The breathless adult at a district hospital
A middle-aged adult arrives at night, unable to complete a sentence. The oxygen concentrator is shared, the nearest chest radiograph is in the morning, and referral takes four hours by road. The module works through what you would do with what is in front of you—and what must change the moment a referral becomes necessary.
Ideal care
What the evidence recommends where full resources exist.
Available care
What is realistically achievable at district level tonight.
Referral threshold
The observations that make transfer non-negotiable.
A growing African clinical network
The Primary54 pilot is beginning in Ethiopia, Botswana, Kenya and South Africa—connecting clinicians working across community, district, teaching and referral settings.
Ethiopia
Teaching hospitals, health centres and community practice
Botswana
Medical officers and district-led primary care
Kenya
County, mission and teaching-hospital practice
South Africa
District health services, general practice and established Family Medicine training
Our professional directory helps clinicians find colleagues, mentors, programmes and institutions across Africa. Members can add missing institutions during registration while our team reviews the information.
Join the pilot
Registration is free and open to medical officers, general practitioners, Family Medicine residents, family physicians, faculty, researchers and other primary healthcare professionals.
