“Through this Health Law, we want to make a drastic leap and learn from experience. A very high jump,” said Budi Gunadi Sadikin in the FMB9 Dialogue on the Health Law, held virtually in Jakarta on Monday.
Budi stated that the COVID-19 pandemic has made many parties aware of various issues in healthcare services worldwide, including Indonesia.
This condition has prompted global initiatives to make significant changes in the national healthcare systems of each country.
“The government’s priorities in the Health Law are twofold. First, we improve access and quality of public health services. Second, we want to regulate it in order to restore regulatory functions to the government,” he said.
Several key programs included in the Health Law, according to Minister Budi, are the strengthening of promotive and preventive programs in primary care, a measurable financing sector focused on work programs, and equitable and sufficient distribution of healthcare human resources throughout the regions.
