dc.description.abstractThe study emphasizes that to uphold primary care quality and resilience, guidelines must offer recommendations on supply chain management and operational continuity, supported by adequate resources. Primary care is poised to become increasingly crucial in the COVID-19 response as secondary and tertiary hospitals are strained by patients requiring intensive management. An adapted framework on primary health care challenges and responses to the pandemic was used to analyze 17 documents from grey literature which comprise national COVID-19 guidelines. The review shows that guidelines provided updates about COVID-19 service delivery, with specific recommendations for ensuring continued delivery of essential primary care services through telehealth or other virtual care modalities.en
