Older people's experiences with PHC access varied according to local contexts, socioeconomic variables, and the provision of public or private health services. Results inform policymakers and PHC practitioners to generate policies and services that are evidence-based and responsive to older people's needs. Identified knowledge gaps highlight the need for research to further understand older people's access to PHC in different LMICs.
