community-based health care

Community-based health care focuses on providing health services directly within local communities. It prioritizes prevention, education, and treatment that addresses the specific needs of the population. Instead of relying solely on hospitals and clinics, this approach leverages local resources, such as community health workers and organizations, to improve health outcomes. By fostering partnerships among community members, health professionals, and organizations, it aims to promote wellness, manage diseases, and ensure everyone has access to necessary care. This model emphasizes, “healthcare as a shared responsibility,” enhancing both individual and community well-being.
