Background & Purpose:
In 2021, over half of the global population lacked full access to essential health services. This highlights the importance of achieving universal health coverage (UHC), i.e. that all people have access to the full range of quality health services they need, when and where they need them, without financial hardship, by 2030. Limited financial resources for healthcare due to various ongoing crises make it crucial to implement strategic approaches and strengthen health systems, with primary healthcare (PHC) playing a significant role. PHC enables health systems to support a person’s health needs throughout their life course – from health promotion to disease prevention, treatment, rehabilitation, palliative care and more. PHC is considered the most inclusive and cost-effective method for achieving UHC, enabling significant cost efficiencies and enhancing the resilience of health systems. Digital approaches further improve access to care by reducing costs and providing real-time healthcare delivery, especially in low-resource settings.

In addition, factors such as patients' lack of knowledge about diabetes, suboptimal medication adherence, persistent clinical inertia and lack of data for monitoring and evaluation through clinical trials deteriorate the standards of diabetes care in India's PHC. Establishing guidelines, supporting health care professionals´ knowledge and skills in prediabetes and diabetes care, and implementing interprofessional referral pathways can enhance prediabetes detection and care precedence in primary health care. AI tools can support healthcare professionals with these tasks.
