health care based on the population responsibility principle


Explanation:
This is quite a clumsy expression, but seems to be used at least in the research context (e.g. of nurses' experiences, public health nursing etc.) in reputable journal articles, dissertations etc.

Example sentence(s):
  • Later the system was developed more towards so-called population responsibility (väestövastuu), a model whereby a team of doctors and nurses is responsible for the health care of a geographically specified population.
  • Finnish public health nurses' experiences of primary health care based on the population responsibility principle.
