By keeping these themes at the core of the health care system, dilemmas can be addressed and care can be improved for patients and their families.

Garder ces principes au centre du système de santé permettra de régler les dilemmes et d’améliorer les soins pour les patients et leurs familles.

Andreas highlights the importance of relational equity, where every voice is heard, supported, and equal, and where equity, inclusion, diversity, and trust matter; and advocates for research to be done with the input and leadership of communities.

Andreas souligne l'importance de l’équité relationnelle, où chaque voix est entendue, encouragée et à égalité, le tout dans un climat de confiance, d'équité, d'inclusion et de diversité. Elle revendique que la recherche se fasse avec la participation et le leadership de la communauté.

As a foreword to the contents of the June special research edition of CFP, Brenda Andreas provides insights into how we can build a strong, equitable, and responsive primary health care system by placing patients and communities at the centre of care.

Le numéro spécial du MFC sur la recherche comporte un avant-propos écrit par Brenda Andreas. Elle y livre des réflexions essentielles sur les moyens de bâtir une première ligne forte et équitable qui répond aux besoins des patients et des communautés en les plaçant au cœur des soins.
