Improved protection of society against danger of abuse and disuse of drugs, narcotics, psychotropics, addictive substances and other dangerous substances needs to be
consolidated through control of their production, distribution and use tightly. The risks of toxicity due to use of products containing dangerous substances need to be
prevented as early as possible through intensification of the information dispersion. In order to utilize the potentials of Indonesian indigenous medicines, various efforts
should be developed and conducted from up stream to down stream integrally and systematically, cooperating with other related sectors. Beside that the image of
Indonesian indigenous medicines should be upgraded mainly domestically through wide spread use for self-healing by the society and in the formal health services.
The even distribution and availability of drugs that are affordable and still being prioritized nationally should be done consistently through the concept of essential
drugs. So is the utilization of generic drugs which should be further up graded.
8. Improvement of Science and Technology in Health
Research and development in health sector will be further up graded gradually and guided in order to support health efforts, primarily to support formulation of policies,
to help solve health problems and overcome troubles in the implementation of health programs. Research and development in health will be continually up graded through
the partnership network and decentralized to become essential part of regional health development. The upgrading of science and technology is encouraged to improve the
health services, nutrition, drugs utilization, and Indonesian indigenous medicine development. Researches related to health economics are upgraded to optimize
utilization of health funds from government and private, as well as to improve
government’s contribution in health funding which is still limited. Researches in social cultural field and healthy life style are done to develop healthy life style and
decrease existing community health problems.
Strategies of Health Development
Health development strategies aimed at achieving Healthy Indonesia 2010 are: 1.
National Development with Health Concerns
All national development policies that are still or will be arranged should have health concerns. It means that national development programs should provide positive
contribution to health, at least in 2 aspects. First, toward the formation of healthy

environment. Second, toward the formation of healthy behavior. It is utmostly hoped that each national development program being done in Indonesia can bring positive
contribution toward the achievement of the healthy environment and behavior. While in micro, all health development policies that are and or will be arranged
should further push the increase in health level of all members of the society. While it is known that the maintenance and promotion of health will be more effective and
efficient if done through promotion and preventive efforts, not curative and rehabilitative ones then it is logical that the former two services can be given priority.
In order to implement the development with health concerns, it needs socialization, orientation, campaign and training activities so that all stakeholders understand and
can implement the national development with health concerns. Beside that, further elaboration of activities is needed for the concept so that they become truly
operational and measurable regarding all the achievements and impacts resulted.
2. Professionalism
