A qualitative investigation characterized as an exploratory study of individual case. The guiding point was inquiring into how the Public Health System (SUS) provides intensive home-based care. The study was aimed at analyzing how this health support is made available--that is, what kind of assistance is given and what is the equipment maintenance and warranty like--and at examining how the subject of this study obtained this service, that is, how the service reached him/her and how long it usually takes to do so. The results show that the paths to get life support are full of obstacles and that this path in search of home-based care through the SUS dynamics involves bureaucracy, professionals, and equipment that often make it difficult for the population to have access to public health services.

Introduction: One in six people of reproductive age experience infertility in their lifetime throughout the world, often with devastating consequences.

This study aims to provide insights into the lived experience of male infertility, the availability and access of infertility services for men within the biomedical sector in Bangladesh and the potential willingness of men to use home-based semen testing.

Introduction: End-of-life care is essential for older adults aged ≥60, particularly those residing in long-term care facilities, such as nursing homes, which are known for their home-like environments compared with hospitals. Due to potential limitations in medical resources, collaboration with external healthcare providers is crucial to ensure comprehensive services within these settings. Previous studies have primarily focused on team-based models for end-of-life care in hospitals and home-based settings.
