Health is always an important issue, and in a city the size of Jakarta it is often a critical issue and an issue that will take on ever-increasing importance as the population grows and puts further strain on Jakarta’s health services. With a view to making a strategic investment into the future productivity of the city, the government has issued Regulation No. 4 of 2009 on the Regional Health System for Jakarta.
Ultimately, the purpose of the provisions are to ensure that defined roles, functions, and authorities are put into place which will lead to greater levels of accountability, fairness, equality, quality, and utilization. This regulation is expected to be a set of guidelines which lays out the regulatory framework and provides legal certainty for all those who come into contact with the regional health system of Jakarta.
The regional health system for Jakarta focuses on eight specific areas:
1.
Health efforts;
2.
Fees / costs;
3.
Guarantees for fees / costs;
4.
Human resources;
5.
Medicines and supplies;
6.
Community empowerment;
7.
Management; and
8.
Licensing, guidance, and supervision.
The regulation provides for both criminal and administrative sanctions. The criminal sanctions provide for a maximum of six months detention and IDR 50 million in fines. In contrast, the administrative sanctions are the standard verbal and written warnings, and then, cancellation of licenses where necessary.
The regulation was issued on 8 July 2009 and enacted on 13 July 2009. It has been in force since the date of its enactment.
