Decentralized Health Services

Decentralized health services refer to healthcare systems that distribute health resources and decision-making across various levels, rather than concentrating them in a central authority. This approach empowers local communities to manage their health needs, improving accessibility and responsiveness to specific health issues. Patients often receive care closer to home, fostering trust and engagement in their health. By involving local healthcare providers and personnel, decentralized systems can adapt more quickly to changes in population health and preferences, ultimately aiming for improved outcomes and greater equity in healthcare delivery.
