ABSTRACT
Healthcare network is composed of primary, secondary and tertiary care centers. Purpose of each unit in this sophisticated zone is to allow steady and smooth delivery of healthcare to optimum level without wasting essential resources or time. If, primary care centers are not able to fulfill the needs of any health issues then, patients are referred to more advanced setup where their health issues can be timely addressed in a proficient way. Referral system forms an important component of healthcare network and it should be formulated in such a way that it can bring fruitful results with the proper use of time, energy, man force as well as technical resources without compromising patient’s health. In this paper, we discussed the core of healthcare network in the city, working with primary as well as referral health care centers, flaws affecting the referral system and recommendations to improve them.
