Functional frontline networks also connect families and communities to critical care and the broader health system; they operate most effectively as an integrated part of a multilayered PHC team, requiring a functional two-way referral system between frontlines and first-level referral facilities. 2019-06-12T21:16:06Z 2019-06-12T21:16:06Z 2018-10 Brief http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/465151560331699478/Frontline-First-for-a-Forward-Looking-Agenda-for-Health-Systems-Transformation http://hdl.handle.net/10986/31844 English FLF Evidence Brief Series; CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo World Bank World Bank, Washington, DC Publications & Research Publications & Research :: Brief
