How are primary health care centres different from secondary health care centres?

Solution

Primary health care centres have been set up in villages and small towns. They are generally managed by a single doctor and a nurse. They have limited medicines. On the other hand, secondary health care centres are mostly located in district headquarters and big towns. They have better facilities for surgery, x-ray, ECG etc. They function both as primary health care provider and also provide better health care-facilities.
