Here are a few examples from different sources:
"Whether staffed by a doctor or not, the health centre has a multidisciplinary team capable of providing a range of services including mother and child care, and it is often the most peripheral part of the official health services. For both these reasons, the health centre is the most appropriate institutional base for the delivery of primary health care in the district."
