Abstract: The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic has disrupted every frontier of human lives. When it comes to emergency care for any health emergency for individuals, or primary care where people make their first contact with the health system in a country, this pandemic has shown the lack of preparedness on delivering medical care in both settings. An integrative yet holistic perspective is needed to strengthen emergency medicine and primary care across health systems, which may enable us to save more lives during this pandemic and be better prepared for the next one.
