Jakarta - Secretary of the Health Development Policy Agency (BKPK) Etik Retno Wiyati emphasized the importance of ongoing collaboration between the center and regions. This was conveyed at the Regional Development Consolidation Meeting, in Jakarta on Friday (23/5) in a hybrid manner.
This meeting is part of the commitment to strengthen synergy between the center and regions aimed at increasing the effectiveness of regional development mechanisms, especially in supporting the implementation of the six pillars of the national health system transformation. The meeting was also attended by provincial governments, districts/cities, and BKPK regional coordinators (Korwil) from four fostered provinces, namely Jambi, South Kalimantan, East Nusa Tenggara, and West Papua.
In his remarks, Etik said that the meeting was not just a coordination event, but a strategic momentum to strengthen the implementation of health transformation based on the Health Sector Master Plan (RIBK).
"RIBK 2025-2029 produces four health development themes that are broken down into six strategic targets and 42 performance indicators. RIBK must be aligned with the RPJMD and Renstra of regional OPDs in order to achieve the grand vision of Indonesia Emas 2045: Health for All," he said.
Regarding the health program consultation mechanism carried out by the Regional Government (Pemda), it has been stated in the Circular Letter (SE) of the Secretary General of the Ministry of Health Number SE HK.02.02/A/4941/2024. Hendy Yudistira, Head of the Media and Institutional Relations Working Team, Bureau of Communication and Public Information of the Ministry of Health, reminded that the existence of the SE is so that the consultation mechanism is more structured and effective.
On that occasion, Hendy reviewed the procedures for submitting consultations by the Regional Government to the Ministry of Health. The first method can be done directly through online meetings. While the second method is indirectly through correspondence letters. "This mechanism is what we recommend, because communication from the region to the regional coordinator will be structured, everyone can know the process," he said.
Next, Iin Afriani, a representative from the Directorate of Synchronization of Regional Government Affairs III of the Ministry of Home Affairs (Kemendagri), explained the Health Sector Master Plan (RIBK) from the Ministry of Home Affairs' Perspective. In her presentation, Iin explained one of Prabowo-Gibran's ASTA CITA, namely strengthening health development which was then outlined in the 2025-2045 National Long-Term Development Plan (RPJPN). There are 5 main indicators of social transformation in the RPJPN, namely life expectancy, maternal mortality rate, stunting prevalence, tuberculosis incidence and national health insurance coverage. Iin also emphasized that RIBK is the main reference in vertical and horizontal integration of health development. There are 11 indicators that must be included in the RPJMD and 12 indicators in the OPD Renstra. "These indicators are offered to provincial and district/city governments so that they can be synchronized between central and provincial planning and district/city planning," explained Iin.
The next material reviewed the Monitoring and Evaluation (monev) of the Minimum Service Standards (SPM) in the Binwil BKPK Province, delivered by Fadlie Abdika, Head of the Health Decentralization Policy and Strategy Working Team, Center for Global Health Governance and Strategy Policy. Fadlie explained the importance of conducting monev. "Monev is conducted because from the Ministry of Finance it can be used as a basis for budgeting or allocating general funds," he explained.
Furthermore, Fadlie mentioned that the target of achieving at least 90% is an indicator of the success of basic health services in the region. Fadlie also emphasized that the use of the Health Costing System (Siscobikes) application as a cost calculation tool and performance monitoring is also an important part of strengthening the performance-based financing and budgeting system.
In this activity, the progress of regional development activities was also presented by the regional coordinators within the BKPK, namely the Center for Health Effort Policy for Jambi Province, the Center for Health Resource System Policy for Southwest Papua Province, the Center for Health Resilience System Policy for East Nusa Tenggara Province, and the Center for Global Health Strategy and Governance Policy for South Kalimantan Province.
This meeting reflects BKPK's strong determination to build effective two-way communication, harmonization of policy planning, and increasing regional capacity in supporting health system transformation. (Authors: Irwan Fazar, Faza Nur Wulandari, Editor Timker HDI)
