Health Resource Requirements For the implementation of health development toward Healthy Indonesia 2010, the availability of adequate health resources is necessary. As for what is meant by resources in this respect it covers manpower resource, fund resource and health facility resource. A. MANPOWER RESOURCE Page 62 of 88 1. Manpower Requirement The implementation of national development with health concerns and health development needs various types of health manpower that has the ability to execute health efforts with the health paradigm, i.e. prioritizing promotive and maintenance efforts as well as disease prevention. The need should be arranged in a health manpower requirement plan according to the national target of intermediate term health developmental program year 2010. Then the need is calculated mainly against the work load that should be born by the health manpower in order to achieve the goal of health efforts in the year 2010, it is then divided by the ability of the manpower to execute the related efforts until year 2010. At present health manpower in Indonesia is around 769.832 workers, which consist of 364.916 society’s workers and 384.916 governmental workers. The trend in manpower supply by 2010 is about 1.399.624 workers which consist of 699.812 society’s workers and 699.812 governmental workers. By observing the need of health program such as that stipulated in health developmental plan toward Healthy Indonesia 2010, and the possible projected supply and empowerment of the workers, it is planned that health manpower throughout Indonesia by 2010 is 1.305.000 workers. Totally it seems that the number needed and the supply of health manpower in 2010 is in enough balance. But when it is perceived more specifically the supply in several categories of worker is still lacking in the effort to fulfill the need of the manpower, i.e. mainly of general practitioners, specialists, nurses, and midwives, as well as public health scholars. Detailed picture of health manpower requirement from the society and the government, as well as according to the types of manpower and respective program principles, according to the types of manpower and place of duty can be seen on table 13 and table 14. 2. Supply of Manpower In order to fulfill manpower requirement that has been planned, an upgrading in education and training as well as management of existing manpower is needed. Supply of health manpower is done through manpower administration and training that is organized by the society and government. Government decides the policy of manpower preparation for civil servants, which covers education and training as well as organization of education and training for health manpower that is strategic. Health manpower education and training, being an integral unity, should be developed as a whole and related to the following matters: 1 Students In the future the professional health manpower that will be developed is health manpower with medium and scholar grade. This policy is determined because of the ever increasing quality of manpower needed and the ever increasing number of graduates equivalent to senior high school being produced. 2 Educators Page 63 of 88 With the increasing quality of health manpower needed, it needs educator manpower that has high knowledge and skill beside having reliable ability to educate based on the teaching technology. 3 Educational Institutions Educational institutions in the future should be accredited and improved inquality so as to be able to play the role as health technical source beside as health manpower supply source. 4 Soft Wares and Hard Wares Soft wares and hard wares are inseparable elements in education activity. Hence both will be developed harmoniously. 5 Health Manpower Career Development Health manpower career development will be based on career system and work performance. Education and training should be directed to the development of health manpower’s career. 3. Health Manpower Utilization Health manpower utilization will be the most important element in the development of health manpower in the future. Hence ability to utilize manpower at all levels should be increased. The career development of health manpower either from private or government is vital to be improved continually and matched gradually. In this respect, government applies the policy of civil servant cultivation at central and regions that covers among other things regulation of facilities, standards and procedures of workmanship and career development. Professionalism of manpower will be increased continually and done through the application of state of art science and technology and through the application of moral values and ethics. B. FACILITY RESOURCE 1. Health Facility Need One of the important components in implementation of health development is health facilities that are able to support various health service efforts either at individual or society level. At present there are 7.243 puskesmas, about 25.000 helper puskesmas, 522 government’s general hospital of various classes, 42 government’s special hospitals, 351 private hospitals and 616 private clinical laboratories outside the hospital. Beside that there are also available regional office Kanwil and Duty Office Dinas at each province and district, municipality, training and educational facility, POM bureau, district pharmaceutical warehouse, and environmental health technique bureau. Page 64 of 88 For the future the need for health facility will be arranged by observing several basic assumptions as the following: 1 the shift in governmental role from being a dominant service organizer to become a policy and regulation compiler by keeping attention on the services needed by the poor people. 2 the increasing potential of private sector in providing health services, especially that of curative and rehabilitative ones; and 3 the settlement of economic and political crises in not too long time. With the above basic assumptions and limitation of available governmental resources at present, and the willingness to increase service efficiency, then in general the number of health facilities of governmental sector in the future will not differ much from now. New health facility construction in governmental sector will be avoided as far as possible. Developmental activity will be prioritized on quality improvement of the physical facility and its service ability, e.g. up grading the state of helper puskesmas to become puskesmas, while puskesmas to become puskesmas with in-patient caring beds. And then puskesmas can also be up graded in its function into a general hospital according to the public’s need. Also should be attended the needs of urban society which is different from rural society, beside the fast wave of urbanization which should also be taken into attention while calculating health facility need in the future. Beside that, capability of the private sector’s health service is hoped to grow too, either in number or in capacity. 2. Health Facility Establishment Establishment of health facilities is done altogether by the government and private by attending to the efficiency and accessibility by the poor people and special groups such as infants, the under 5 years, and pregnant women. 3. Health Facility Management Health facility management is very important, especially with the increasing complexity of health service management in the future. Increased managerial, professional ability in the government and private sectors, supported by improved technical ability of service provider’s technical manpower is very necessary to be given attention in order to assure the success and everlasting of health service efforts nationally. Specifically the capability of regional leaders in doing advocation and building partnership with other sectors and private sector should be improved. In line with the decentralization effort in health sector, special attention will be directed to cost burdening, management, accountability of the resources following it. Flexibility in doing managerial innovation will be further expanded. Specifically the balance of funding between central and regional government is one of the strategic policy that needs attention especially in regions with still low indigenous regional income. Conducive climate for the organization of health facility in private sector will be further expanded in order to push the growth of private sector. Various new regulations will be created in order to regulate this matter. C. FUNDING RESOURCE Page 65 of 88
