In Uganda, the numbers of new coronavirus disease cases have continued to
increase slowly since the first case was confirmed. Given that the disease is
likely to be holoendemic, the role of primary care (PC) with its features of
comprehensiveness, accessibility, coordination and continuity, functioning at the
heart of a primary healthcare (PHC) approach, will be important. The elements of
PC are applicable in the epidemic preparation, case finding and management,
follow-up and post-epidemic phases of responding to this pandemic. This also
presents opportunities and lessons for strengthening PHC as well as for
reflections on missed opportunities. The effective use of available resources in
response to the epidemic should mainly focus on community mobilisation and PHC
teams for the prevention, screening, testing and treatment of mild and moderate
cases.
