Neglected tropical diseases; health services; Papua
Description
Papua is one of the endemic areas for several neglected tropical diseases such as yaws, filariasis, and leprosy, but there are differences in the distribution of resources so that efforts to eradicate and eliminate tropical diseases require specific treatment strategies in each region. This study aimed to examine neglected tropical disease health services in Jayapura City. The research uses a qualitative approach with a case study design conducted in Jayapura City in June – October 2021. Data collection is carried out by in-depth interviews, document review, and focus group discussions. The research informants were 8 people consisting of the head of disease control, the head of the central health services, programmers, and patients. Results: The neglected tropical
disease services in Jayapura City are focused on treatment and improving the quality of life on the social and psychological dimensions. Currently, the health department is still the sole player in the handling of neglected tropical diseases and is considered an “unsexy” disease, thereby reducing
the interest of many parties to be treated. Screening activities to find new cases are decreasing. The scope of the screening is carried out only on family members without tracing the contact history of the patient. The double burden of health workers who are responsible as programmers occurs because they have to deal with several diseases with a wide working area. Strengthening screening for new case findings needs to be done by tracing contacts not only in the household but also on neighbors and contact history such as at school and work. Handling of neglected tropical disease cases needs to be encouraged to be evidence-based based on situational analysis of the incidence and prevalence of cases in each central health services working area.
