Abstract

Self-medication is a common health behavior, especially for mild symptoms. This study reviews the trends and challenges of self-medication in Indonesia–Malaysia border areas, focusing on Sambas Regency. A descriptive-qualitative literature review was conducted based on 15 relevant scientific articles. The findings reveal that self-medication is influenced by limited access to healthcare services, low medication literacy, cultural norms, and weak drug distribution supervision. Commonly used drugs include analgesics, antipyretics, supplements, and traditional herbal remedies. The border context also facilitates access to cross-border medicines, raising concerns about quality and safety. This study highlights the urgency of implementing community-based health education, strengthening the role of community pharmacists, and developing adaptive and context-specific pharmaceutical policies in remote border regions.

Abstract

Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs) burden billions of individuals in developing countries, significantly impacting health and economy. While vaccination is a vital intervention, NTD vaccine development and access face multidimensional challenges related to investment, research, and distribution. This article analyzes funding gaps due to low market attractiveness and reliance on philanthropy. In research, the biological complexity of pathogens, limited infrastructure, and inadequate preclinical models pose crucial barriers. Distribution challenges include cold chain constraints, access to remote areas, and weak healthcare system capacity. Through a systematic literature review from 2004 to 2015, it was identified that these issues are interconnected, delaying vaccine availability. Dependence on public and philanthropic funding, alongside scientific and logistical complexities, hinders progress. This analysis highlights the need for stronger market incentives, increased research collaboration, development of more stable vaccine formulations, and strengthening healthcare systems to ensure equitable access. Implications for Indonesia are emphasized, highlighting the importance of research independence and strengthening distribution infrastructure.
