A high prevalence of mental health patients in Aceh has caused the number of referrals in mental health institutions to rise. An appropriate discharge planning could ensure that patients will be able to continue to treat themselves after they leave the mental health institutions. The objective of this study was to describe the existing discharge planning process of mental health patients in Aceh. Research data was obtained by interviews, observations, and focus group discussions with schizophrenic patients' family members, important figures in the society and in their faith communities, and various officials at Puskesmas (community health centers), RSUD (local hospitals), and RSJ (mental health institutions). Research results show that the process of discharge did not proceed systematically and optimally. Moreover, there is no optimal coordination between mental health institutions and the surrounding communities, resulting in gaps of health services in Aceh. A better and more systematic discharge system are discussed to get the best results.
