instructional efforts for the health workers and general public. Traditional medicines that are useful to health will be utilized integrally in public health services. Beside
that, cultivation and utilization in the society will be improved further through cultivation by the government or professional organizations.
Cultivation of the quality of foods and beverages that are marketed and consumed by the society is improved to protect the society from substances and organisms harmful
to health.
6. Improvement the Policies and Management of Health Development
Policies and management of health development need to be improved more intensely especially through the strategic improvement in cooperation between health sector and
other related sectors, and between various health programs and between actors within the health development itself.
Health effort management which consists of planning, implementation actuating, controlling and evaluation is executed systematically to ensure integrated and overall
health efforts. The management is supported by information system which is reliable in order to produce right decisions and efficient working mechanism. The information
system is developed comprehensively at all levels of health administration as a part of modern administrative development. Organization of Ministry of Health needs to be
readjusted with the functions of regulating, national planning, cultivation and supervision. Decentralization based on real autonomy principle, dynamic, harmonious
and responsible is accelerated through delegation of responsibilities of health effort management to the regions. The management ability of health office Dinas
Kesehatan is improved further so that it can do the planning and funding of health effort arrangement more responsibly. The improvement in managerial ability is done
through a series of education and training in line with the existing health development. The aforementioned efforts need to be supported by the availability of adequate health
funding. For the reason, improvement in health funding should be striven for either that coming from national budget or from the regional budget. The source of revenue
for health development can be explored from taxes on consumer goods that are detrimental to health such as cigarettes and tobacco, and taxes on alcoholic drinks. In
line with that, all revenues are allocated fully back by the government to fund health services and service quality improvement efforts.
7. Improved Protection of Public Health against the Use of Illegal Pharmaceuticals,
Foods and Health Instruments. Improved protection of public health against the use of illegal pharmaceuticals, foods
and health instruments is done through prevention of distribution of products which do not meet the conditions regarding quality, efficacy benefit and safety, beside
through expansion of the span of their supervision. Beside quality and safety conditions, the claims of certain products through advertisement and promotion
should be assured of their validity according to the scientific data supporting them.
The community’s care regarding risks from using pharmaceuticals, foods and health instruments is also not less important to be increased through various communication,
information and educational activities. So is the rational use of drugs by professional personnel need to be encouraged through more concrete efforts.

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.
