The “Country vignettes” series is a dynamic collection of publications highlighting the transformation of primary health care (PHC) in the WHO European Region.

Each vignette is a country-specific, pragmatic and action-oriented document, guiding you through:

• the motivation and context that have inspired the chain of actions;
• the transformational instruments and policies that have catalysed the change;
• early achievements that serve as evidence of a transformative path;
• sustainability prospects and next steps for continued growth;
• lessons learned offering guidance for other countries facing similar challenges.

The objective of the country vignettes is to inspire action by enabling cross-country exchange of experiences. We continuously follow countries and their PHC transformation to spotlight more country cases to strengthen PHC and drive meaningful change.
