Person‐centred care ( PCC ) is defined as the health‐care providers selecting and delivering interventions or treatments that are respectful of and responsive to the characteristics, needs, preferences and values of the individual person. This model of care puts the person at the centre of care delivery. The W orld H ealth O rganization suggests that PCC is one of the essential dimensions of health care and as such is an important indicator of health‐care quality. However, how PCC is implemented differs between countries in response to local cultures, resources and consumer expectations of health care. This article discusses person‐centred care in the Indonesian health‐care system.
