Qualitative data was collected from 7 scholars of erudition and experience, 7 PHNs and 2 health care related experts through focus group discussion and one to one interviews.

As a result of analysing the qualitative data, the following 5 competencies were refined: a) Protecting equality of health/well-being of the population, b) Empowering the population's capacity for promoting community health development, c) Creating strategic policy and resources from the clients' view point, d) Demonstrating the necessity and the effects of action, e) Developing and sustaining PHNs' professionalism.

Five competencies were identified with consensus.
