home care services during the covid-19 pandemic: justice-oriented perspective

During the covid19 pandemic, patients with better general conditions are sent to their own homes for selfquarantine due to a lack of resources in the health system, especially the lack of beds and human resources. improving patient care may force households to inevitably use home care services, which can be examined from the health equity perspective. in the first step, home care services should be expanded by medical universities in all regions of the country, including less developed areas. in the second step, the financial protection of the recipients of these services should be provided through interventions, such as health insurance coverage. in addition, after the covid19 pandemic (postcorona period), it is necessary to organize home care services as soon as possible due to the population aging trend. finally, despite the problems caused by the covid19 pandemic in the country, it is better to use the challenges, actions, and lessons learned from this crisis to complete the infrastructure of the health system in various ways.
