The Ideal Clinic Realisation and Maintenance (ICRM) programme initiated in 2013 aimed at systematically correcting historical deficiencies and improving the quality of Primary Health Care (PHC) at public sector clinics in South Africa. We examine the progression of PHC facilities to ICRM platinum certification status and healthcare workers’ perspective on the implementation of ICRM towards achieving platinum status.
