The Development Of Community Health Care Insurance Program (Jaminan Pemeliharaan Kesehatan Masyarakat – Jpkm) In West Java Province, Indonesia

The Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia has proc laimed that the programs in community health development will be geared towards HEALTHY INDONESIA 2010. Four operational strategies to achieve the above are redefinition of paradigms in community health, improvement of professionalism, decentralization of programs and resources, and introducing the community health care service insurance termed Jaminan Pemeliharaan Kesehatan Masyarakat or JPKM. Figure 1 shows the position of these strategies in the scheme of community health development both in the Province of West Java and national level. With respect to those strategies, JPKM has been given emphasis as an alternative form of health insurance in Indonesia.

In the province of West Java, JPKM has been implemented since 1973 in three districts namely Garut, Sumedang and Bekasi. Later, it was implemented in six other districts namely Indramayu, Cirebon, Pandeglang, Tangerang, Purwakarta, Bandung and in the municipality of Bandung. The progress was rather slow as the actual methods were varied and the implementations were sporadic. The program has only covered about 15% of the total population.
