ABSTRACT
@#Inequity and inequality in accessing primary healthcare services can be created by systemic and structural barriers in a health system. A recent review of Papua New Guinea’s (PNG) health system revealed that there are inequities and inequalities in primary healthcare service access. This disparity is magnified in the rural and remote regions of the country. One of the main reasons for this has been the chronic shortage in government funding. This paper presents an overview of inequities and inequalities in health and suggests some public health approaches that may improve primary healthcare service access in PNG
