Pulau Tanjung home care program: A concept of home-based primary care in developing countries

Abstract

In developing countries, it is not only the pandemic that is the main problem. However, difficult access to health care facilities is also a chore that has not been properly resolved by the government. In order to answer the above phenomenon, an initiative has been drawn up that leads to the development of the Pulau Tanjung Home Care Program (PHC program). Unlike home care in general, the PHC program places more emphasis on preventive action by not neglecting curative and rehabilitative. This program is structured with two main perspectives: Islamic economics approach and person-centered care. This program also has four main pillars that must be met: home-based medical check-up, home-based assessment and treatment, sustainable treatment and follow-up based on diagnosis, and health insurance for everyone. This literature review aims to develop the concept of this program so that it fits the background of the program in developing countries.
