I'm not familiar wit hthis term but don't think this means just emergency medicine - should this be emergency and basic health services?

primary care

Explanation:
Clearly, this isn't a value judgement on the standard of care, but rather an indication of the extent of care. Basic care probably works quite well too, but 'primary care' is a good term for the (usually non-specialist) care delivered at the patient's first point of contact with the health service, eg a general medical or dental practitioner.

Nevertheless, as health terminology questions have involved "animated discussion" in this forum in the past, probably best wait for comments from other colleagues :).
