society in the future is able to access qualified health services without obstruction, either economic or non-economic one. The qualified health services referred before are those

Mission of Health Development
In order to materialize the vision HEALTHY INDONESIA 2010, four missions of health development have been determined as follow:
1. Activating national development with health concerns
The success in health development can not be merely decided by hard working of the health sector alone, but it is strongly influenced by the results of hard working and
positive contribution from various other developmental sectors. In order to optimize the results and positive contribution, the acceptance of health concerns as the principal
foundation of national developmental programs should be striven for. In other words, to materialize HEALTHY INDONESIA 2010, the persons in charge of developmental
programs should put health considerations into all their developmental policies. The developmental programs that do not contribute positively to health, not to mention those
being harmful to health, normally should not be implemented. In order to realize the national development that contributes positively to health as stated before, then all
elements of the National Health System should take part as the main activators of the national development with health concerns.
2.
Urging society’s autonomy for healthy living
Health is the joint responsibility of all individuals, society, government and private. The roles played by the government, without awareness of individuals and society to maintain
their health independen tly, will only bear little fruit. The healthy behavior and society’s
capability to select and acquire qualified health services strongly decide the success of health development. Hence, one of the main health efforts or missions in health sector is
to ur ge the society’s autonomy for healthy living.
3. Maintaining and improving qualified, equal and accessible health services
Maintaining and improving qualified, equal and accessible health services contain the meaning that one of the responsibilities of the health sector is to assure the availability of
qualified, equal and accessible health services to the society. The implementation of health services is not merely in the hands of the government, but it also involves
maximally the active participation of all members of the society and various private potentials.
