This research aims to study the development model of services among public hospitals attributed to Muslim practices. It is developed as qualitative research relatively collecting data through the optimization of in-depth interviews, document revision, and observation. The data is analyzed by applying the method of thematic analysis and content analysis. As for the result, it depicts that the model hospital has performed the service development of public hospitals attributed to Muslim practices, covering four key aspects. In terms of religious practices, the hospital offers relevant services to newborns, Muslim youth, prayer venue establishment, the provision during the fasting month, and terminal patients. When it comes to the provision of Halal food, a specific department is set up together with the preparation of responsible personnel.
