“…Boeke (de Jonge, 2012) states that prosperity often fails, due to a lack of attention in terms of knowledge, creativity, independence, and initiative from the government in providing appropriate policies to encourage individual abilities. Maren M. Hawkins et al (2022) health and well-being reinforce community concern.…”

Prosperity is the hope and goal of every individual and society throughout the world and the Madurese in particular. With the concept of social capital which consists of the dimensions of network, norms, trust, and mindset, the Madurese people have the awareness to move forward to create collective welfare on the island of Madura. Researchers in this study used qualitative methods. Data was collected using interviews, observation, and documentation. The technique used in the analysis from Cresswell is organizing and preparing data. The results of the study found that, first, the government must provide consistent assistance in obtaining networks. Collaboration and sharing make it easy to prosper. Second, Rules that are made must be clear benchmarks. Regulations must be able to provide guarantees. Regulations can ensure that people get positions according to expertise. Third, Society needs to be positioned as subjects, in order to get freedom. Provide motivation that learning can increase self-esteem. Society needs to get an education. Fourth, the mindset dimension shows that emancipation between men and women must be created. Society needs to be open-minded/flexible with the times. Society needs new thinking as a comparison. Schools and universities must prioritize quality.

Background Universal access to palliative care remains a distant goal in many low resource settings, despite the growing evidence of its benefits. The unmet need for palliative care is evident in Africa, but great strides in palliative care development have occurred in several African countries. Located in sub-Saharan Africa, Malawi has been regarded as an exemplar of progress in this area that is achievable in a low resource region. This scoping review examined the literature on the development and state of palliative care in Malawi according to the pillars of health care policy, medicine availability, education, implementation, research activity, and vitality of professionals and advocates. Methods A scoping review was conducted of the MEDLINE, Embase, Global Health, CINAHL, Web of Science and PsycINFO databases, as well as grey literature sources. Articles were included if they explored any aspect of palliative care in Malawi. Results 114 articles were identified that met the inclusion criteria. This literature shows that Malawi has implemented diverse strategies across all pillars to develop palliative care. These strategies include creating a national stand-alone palliative care policy; integrating palliative care into the curricula of healthcare professionals and developing training for diverse service providers; establishing systems for the procurement and distribution of opioids; implementing diverse models of palliative care service delivery; and launching a national palliative care association. Malawi has also generated local evidence to inform palliative care, but several research gaps were identified. Conclusions Malawi has made considerable progress in palliative care development, although initiatives are needed to improve medicine availability, access in rural areas, and socioeconomic support for patients and their families living with advanced disease. Culturally sensitive research is needed regarding the quality of palliative care and the impact of therapeutic interventions.
