Improving access and outcomes is central to the Primary Health Care Operations Research (PRICOR) Project. PRICOR was established to help less developed countries (LDCs) apply practical, decision-oriented research to identify and solve operational problems in the delivery of primary health care (PHC), particularly health services vital to child survival, including oral rehydration therapy, immunizations, malaria control, management of acute respiratory infections, child spacing, and maternal health care.
