This article examines the optimization of primary health prevention strategies for noncommunicable diseases at the primary health care level. It details the importance of preventive measures to reduce the burden of non-communicable diseases, which represent a major public health challenge worldwide. Through a comprehensive review of the existing literature and evidence-based practice, the article highlights key strategies for enhancing primary health prevention efforts at the primary health care level. By focusing on early detection, lifestyle change, risk factor management, and patient education, primary care providers can play a critical role in preventing the onset and progression of noncommunicable diseases, ultimately improving health outcomes and reducing health care costs.
