Abstract

This chapter shows typical entry points and a toolbox for the introduction of IPCHS at district and community levels, which can be used by other LMIC countries. It needs to be kept in mind, however, that there is no “one-size-fits-all” for these types of services. The same tools may be used in different settings, but tool selection must be guided by the local needs as well as priorities and resources, which may differ considerably between communities. In the light of the quadruple aim in health care, integrated community services are a living instrument, which can and should develop alongside people’s changing needs, building new tools and people-centred services, considering the proven possibility of creating positive change despite the various challenges.
