  22. The program in 2005 • Ministry of Health introduced Askeskin (Health Insurance for the Poor) • The budget was calculated based on 5 thousand rupiah per month per individu. (commercial health insurance: from 25.000 - 250.000, to US dollar for overseas scheme) • There was a poor registration system for poor people at the beginning of the program

  23. The Contract to PT Askes Indonesia(2005-2007) Ministry of Health under the new Minister contracted PT Askes Indonesia for managing the Askeskin scheme for poor family. This was a radical change from the previous policy, which channel the central budget directly to the hospitals and encourage local government health office to develop health insurance scheme. There was no pilot study

  26. In 2008 2006-2007: Many disputes between Ministry of Health and PT Askes Indonesia A new change in 2008: Askeskin program was renamed to Jamkesmas. The coverage is not only the poor but also near poor (more coverage). The budget is channelled directly to Hospital and Health Centers using managed care concept (incl. DRG) Increasing budget.

  27. The national health security program increased government budget How Pay for Health Care

  28. Is this an indicator of success in reforming Indonesian health finance?

  29. Since 2001, - the health program for the poor had improved the utilization of public hospital by the poor - Kakwani Index is improving

  30. But, • There is still a geographical inequity Due to the access to • Medical specialists • Hospitals Across Indonesia

  31. Specialist distribution (KKI, 2008) • Jakarta: 24% of specialists, serves around 4% community in a relatively small area • Provinces in Java: 49% of specialists, serves around 53% community • Rest of Indonesia: 27% of specialists, serves around 43% community in a very large area

  32. Average Number of Public Hospital at a district

  33. Average number of Private Hospital at a district

  34. Hipothesis • Health Finance provided by Jamkesmas will be used more by poor and near poor people in and around big cities • Most in Java Island • Left the poor and near poor people in remote area or in the places where there is no medical service and specialists

  35. This hipothesis may explain why Indonesian Insurance Coverage Status in 2007 (based on social economy survey) looks not good. Source: SUSENAS 2007

  36. Therefore: • Health finance reform should be linked (at least) with Human Resources Reform • How is the condition of health care reform in human resources?
