a. Macro Economic Situation

The economic condition of a country would certainly have an impact on the level of populations’ health. When the economic growth improved, the health status of its people should also be improved. Economic growth rate in Indonesia since 2002 until 2008 showed an increase of 300, while the population growth rate per year was on average 1.33. GDP per capita also showed an increase of about 17-20 per year. Increased economic growth will improve country financing in the health sector. The National Health Accounts NHA estimates the total expenditure on health in Indonesia in many years has been amounted to 2 of the GDP in average, relatively low as compared to other neighboring countries. Government contribution for health is significant. Data from the Ministry of Health shows an increase on health budget allocation from 2006 to 2008, i.e. from 12.3 trillion Rupiah to 15.9 trillion Rupiah, however it is much lower than increased GDP table 1.
