Country Profile Indonesia’s economy had largely recovered from the Asian financial crisis of the late 1990s. Indonesia is a lower-middle income country with a nominal gross national income per capita of US$ 1,650 (US$ 3,580 PPP) in 2007. The economy has grown approximately 6% per year since 2005. However, the recent global financial turmoil has led to sharp declines in demand and prices for key exports. Experts predict that the growth of Indonesia’s economy is expected to slow, but continue to estimate that it will grow by 4-6% in 2009. Despite progress in stabilizing the economy, Indonesia continues to struggle with a number of complex issues. Nearly 18% of the population continues to live below the poverty line, while 49% of the population lives on less than US$ 2 per day (World Bank, 2006(b)). Distribution of resources across provinces remains highly unequal with provinces in the East of the country receiving substantially less than those in the West. Indonesian economy has a market based characteristics. This situation influence the health sector. Key health indicators, such as infant and child mortality, have improved steadily over the past several decades. Despite these general trends, improvements in some indicators seem to have slowed in recent years. Three indicators remain a cause for concern: 1) high child mortality; 2) maternal mortality rates which remain high at 420 deaths per 100,000 live births (Hill et al, 2007), despite increases in the number of deliveries attended by a health professional (from 66% in 2002-03 to 73% in 2007) and the number of deliveries taking place in a health facility (40% to 46%) (IDHS, 2008); and 3) child malnutrition rates, which remain high at 25% for children under five and have largely stagnated since 2000 (World Bank, 2008). Infant and child mortality rates are more than four times higher among the poorest quintile (World Bank, 2006(b)). Due to longer life expectancy and fewer childhood deaths from communicable diseases, the demographic and epidemiological profile of Indonesia is transitioning. In the decades to come, Indonesia will face a “double burden of disease” from both communicable and non-communicable diseases. Already, the number of people with diabetes, heart disease, and cancer is increasing as the population ages, diets change, and lifestyles become more sedentary (World Bank, 2008). These changes have the potential to greatly increase both demand for and the cost of health care. A.1 The History of Private provider (pre-indendependence) The current situation of private providers is influenced by the history of the healing and health service organization. Boomgard1 expresses that the history of health service and hospitals in Indonesia is inseparable from the development of Western medical science in Asia that goes on since 1649. This period represents the origin of the changing on the traditional health system in Asia which referred to the Chinese system and turned into the Western system2. 1 Boomgard, P. 1993.

Forum of International Development Studies. 2 Institutional Providers Development in Dutch Colonial Period started with the establishment of colonial hospitals. Healthcare practices more systematically carried out when the East India Company founded a hospital in Batavia on July 1, 16263. The construction of the first hospital in Indonesia, allows for offshore medical treatment to patients. But so far only certain groups, especially the military, who can enjoy the services of this hospital. The take over of the Dutch East India Company to the government in 1800 also passed the state's financial condition is critical. The Religious Private Hospital became new phenomenon of the development since the mid19th century and then flourished in the early 20th century. This periode was the beginning of zending groups from Europe who founded several private hospitals as a medium of spreading religion. The emergence of religious hospitals, especially zending, can not be removed from the existing zending network in the Netherlands and Germany. Following then, the Plantation Private Hospital emerged from plantations across Indonesia. The plantation company hoped that the plantation workers can work hard and improve their productivity by establishing the hospital as a means to maintain and care the health of the labor. This means that the establishment of a plantation hospital expected return of investment with the increased productivity of workers. The world economic crisis in the late 19th century has led to a decreased level of prosperity of the population, especially in Java. In early 20th century the colonial government tried to find the cause of this by doing research, known as mindere welvaart onderzoek op Java. In fact the low level of prosperity in Java has occurred since the mid-19th century. Burger clearly states that the low levels of Javanese society's prosperity happened since the 1830s. According to Burge, the causes include: the large number of the population of Java at the time, cultuur stelsel application or cultivation system, liberal politics and the entrance of industrial goods to rural areas of Java4. On the basis of these reports on figures from the Ethical groups such as Van Deventer, De Wolff and van Westerrode Abendanon called to pay the "debt" in the Dutch East Indies population by improving the welfare of their lives with a famous trias "irrigation, education, and emigration "as the basic idea of the Ethical Policy5. Ethical policy began to be applied in the Dutch East Indies in 1901. According to Boeke this policy is purely a policy for economic development among the mass of the Indonesian population. This Ethical Policy is realised in health for the community by the presence of government subsidy to public and private hospital. As a note, during the colonial period doctors were permitted to open private practices6. With the salary from the government and additional earning from private practice, doctors in Dutch administration time were professions who relatively rich, and they had the upper class life style. Many medical doctors became political leaders. 3 D.

Japan considers that all doctors who become leaders and managers in all hospitals zending are spies for Allied Forces. Therefore, they were then arrested and transported to concentration camps and not be associated with the hospital staff they lead. A year later they were returned to the Netherlands as a prisoner of war. After independence in 1945, the decreased subsidy influenced the system of state and private hospital management. Practically, hospitals in Indonesia should operate on limited source of expense and searched for the earnings to support their operation. That resulted Indonesian hospitals depend on the use of tariff (users-fee) to support the operational expenses. It should be properly noted that in Orde Lama Period (before 1965) Indonesia government applied a policy which was not relied on foreign aids. The religious based hospital lost the subsidy and aids from the traditional financing sources gradually. These hospitals relied on user-fees as the main source of income. This situation became complicated when the medical technology development. The cost of medical service increased which is difficult to be financed by middle and low economy class family. This hospital in 1960s and 1970s then open new class of VIP and VVIP. This change indirectly also alter their management from non-profit oriented become for profit oriented, although the status is foundation. Some religious based hospitals were tranferred to local government. A.2 The Development of new private hospitals in Orde Baru (1965 - ) The private providers started a new era. At the first stage, many senior medical school lecturers established small hospitals around the teaching hospitals. These medical doctorsowned-hospitals started from their private medical practice. The prominent senior medical school lecturers developed the “moonlighting” system of individual practice become a hospital. Big houses were transformed into small hospitals (less than 50 beds). Although the senior lecturers owned hospital, they did not resign as the clinical staff member of state hospitals. The final stage of private hospital development is the introduction of new policy which allowing hospitals as a for-profit company (Perseroan Terbatas). One of the important moments in the hospital management history is the change on Permenkes (Regulation of Health Minister) 920 / 86 concerning private hospital owner. According to Permenkes 920/ 86, private hospital owner may be individual, group, or foundation. Permenkes No. 84/ Menkes/ Per/ II/ 1990 enhances one keyword that is other legal institution. Thereby, various legal institutions, including limited corporation which is profit-making can have a hospital. This for-profit corporation (Perseroan Terbatas) may be domestic investor or foreign investor. Permenkes No. 84/ Menkes/ per/ II/ 1990 becomes significant because it legalizes commercialized vision of the hospital service and reflects the progressive foreign influence in the hospital system in Indonesia. This new policy creates new breed of private providers. Some investors built new hospitals. The hospital approach is a pure commercial enterprise. Vision and philosophy based on commercial business principles. These type of hospitals grow fast, have modern building and 4 facilities, and has sophisticated services. Managers who run these hospitals came from school of business and school of public health. Hospital became an industry. Alongside the forprofit hospital, the traditional religious private hospitals still exist with many new non-profit hospitals across Indonesia. A. Country Health System The Ministry of Health (MOH) had overall responsibility for national health policy. It recruited and allocated public sector physicians and other key staff and operates the main vertical programs. The MOH remained responsible for the allocation of key staff to the subnational regions, despite decentralization. However, while the MOH is responsible for the health system, various health insurance programs, the private sector, and local governments are also important financiers, and in some cases providers, of services, resulting in significant fragmentation of both roles and flows of funds. Responsibility for implementation of health services was transferred to local governments at the district level by decentralization policy, resulting in the growing importance of Ministry of Home Affairs in the health sector. However, although districts are now responsible for employment, deployment, and payment, regulations regarding authority to make decisions and budgets, and the capacity to carry them out, do not exist, largely because overall civil service reforms have stalled (World Bank 2005a). Ironically, public health facilities play an important role as economic enterprises for local governments. Local governments officially “own” public health facilities and hospitals but have never allocated sufficient resources to manage them (Trisnantoro, 2008). Since decentralization, province-level health offices have mainly been responsible for training and coordination efforts as well as oversight of provincial hospitals, but they have limited resource allocation responsibilities (Trisnantoro, 2008). In contrast, districts have major responsibilities for delivering health services and allocating resources. At the sub district level, Puskesmas (health centers) have been the linchpin of basic health services and primary care since the 1970s, while curative services are provided by four types of hospitals ranging from teaching hospitals in the country’s major cities to district-level hospitals where all main services are provided and referrals are made for more complicated cases to the higher level hospitals (WHO, 2008). In the health sector governance area, there was a rapid development of government as the financier agency. After the economic crisis, government launched a social safety net subsidy for the poor family. Hospital cost is one of the safety net scheme. This is a new policy at national scale for financing the poor for hospital treatment. Since then the government role as financier agencies became stronger, not only at central government level, but also local government. However this policy had more political motives than technical, let alone equity. The broad benefit and the policy for allowing near poor family for using the scheme may open new problems in government financing for health sector. In some places, this policy still discriminates against the private providers as the fund was only limited for use in state hospitals only. 5 On the other hand, there was a slow development of local government role as the steward and controller of private hospital. In the last 10 years, there were some innovative development for strengthening the role of local government for supervising private hospitals. However the progress is still limited. Many local government do not pay enough attention on this issue. The cultural aspect of medical doctors is moving toward the opposite direction of health financing. Numerous research found that medical doctors (specialists) tend to work in high economy regions, as they might earn high and “unlimited” income, shifting between the public and private hospital without clear regulation, tend to not having trust for hospital management and managed care. Some specialties were suspectedly monopolizing the supply side. In some places, doctors might act as price taker in fee setting. This culture was a challenge for private hospitals, except those who have strong bargaining power with the doctor. Medical doctor’s culture has limited history of being managed or regulated under a standardized system. There is hardly any policy on income cap for doctor earnings nor standard for service. Doctor earns their living mainly from fee-for-service7. Governmental doctors are commonly unsatisfied with the public sector compensation which resulted in their work ethic: they are government employees in public hospitals, but they obtain their majority of earnings from private hospitals and private practices. Another feature is the fragmented health sector. At present, de-medicalization is happening in government offices which manage health. Ministry of Health and mostly Provincial/District/City Health Offices lost their influence toward medical groups (medical doctors, especially specialists). As the result, two different cultures in health sector exist: (1) medical culture and (2) public-health culture. One factor of this cultural difference is the fact that Provincial/District/City Health Offices operate in the coordination of Ditjen Binkesmas (General Directorate of Public Health) for years whereas hospitals is under coordination of Ditjen Pelayanan Medik (General Directorate of Medical Service). Artificially, there is a bureaucratic separation between activities of Provincial/District/City Health Office and those of hospitals. Another fact shows that National Health System (SKN) 2004 strongly differentiate Public Health Attempts (UKM) with Individual Health Attempts (UKP)8. Within the fragmentation atmosphere between UKM and UKP, some features in health sector develop. Market influence due to neo-liberalism and globalization became stronger in health sector. More market practices are conducted in health sector especially among medical groups, without adequate control and regulation from government. The rapid development of the private sector required a sound analysis of regulation aimed at the private hospital sector which is related to a wider issues around regulating for market failures. We also argue that the policymakers perception on private health providers is still inconducive. Current regulation around taxation, for instance, does not differentiate between profit and non profit hospital providers. This situation was a complete opposite to the colonial period, when government provided subsidy for nonprofit hospitals. 7 Sanjana K. 1998.

Sistem Kesehatan Nasional. 6 B.1 Decentralization Rapid decentralization, a key part of democratization efforts which began in 1999, has further complicated an already complex regulatory environment. There are two important issues on decentralization for private hospital growth: (1) the influence of decentralization to economic situation; and (2) the transfer of central government authority for controlling health service. One impact of decentralization was the significant discrepancy in the fiscal capacity which grew greater among provinces and districts/ municipalities. With the payment of Shared Fund for some local governments by the central treasury, some provinces and districts/ municipalities suddenly became rich in a short time. The local government fiscal capacity became one important factor for economic environment, alongside the community economy strength. This economic development increases the number of state and private hospitals. Another interesting aspect of decentralization is the transfer of authority in hospital regulation between central and local government. Hospital regulation remained a heated debate almost 10 years after decentralization. Since the early implementation of decentralization, some leaders in Ministry of Health had weak willingness to formulate the program for regulation development. It was reflected in National Health System document which had no regulation component. Consequently, the capacity of central and local government in regulating health sector was weak. B.2 Health Financing According to the Indonesia Public Expenditure Review (World Bank, 2007), health insurance coverage has started to increase significantly, largely due to rapid development of the Askeskin health insurance scheme for the poor. However, Susenas (household consumption and expenditure) data suggested that health insurance coverage has been very low at only about 27% of the population (World Bank, 2007). Almost all health insurance schemes allowed beneficiaries to seek services from contracted providers, regardless of whether they are public or private facilities. However, there is no accurate information to quantify how much insurance is utilized for services provided by private sector providers. For instance, Jamsostek (Jaminan Sosial Tenaga Kerja), established in 1992 as the social health insurance scheme for private employees, allowed beneficiaries to seek both public and private services. It required contributions of 3% (if one is single) and 6% (if married) of gross wages, paid entirely by the employer. However, participation in the scheme is not required, i.e., employers can “opt-out.” In 2005 Jamsostek covers 3.1 million people or less than 5% of the intended target population (ILO, 2006).

Meanwhile, fiscal capacity depended on both local revenue-raising capacity and the flow of funds through the inter governmental fiscal systems in which some funds are earmarked by central-level government while others are not, and formulas used for redistributing funds from central to local governments often do not reflect local need and fiscal capacity (Trisnantoro, 2008). The complexity of the flows of funds, with some targeted to health while others are not, and with some payments made through insurance organizations while others made directly to public providers, make for an intricate, inequitable, inefficient, and fragmented set of financing flows (World Bank 2008c). Table 2 below depicts the major health financing sources and their allocation mechanisms to health care providers in Indonesia.

Out-of-pocket expenditures come from not only the uninsured but also the insured, due to high co-payments and very limited benefits (World Bank, 2005), for example: Askes has very high co-payments and Jamsostek excludes coverage for catastrophic events. The average monthly health expenditures by facility and wealth quintile among those who utilized out-patient or in-patient services shows that even the poor population made most of their health expenditures in private facilities; 68% and 51% of out-patient and in-patient health expenditures were spent in private facilities (Saadah et al, 2006). Another study also suggested that the private sectors provided 67% of all in-patient care (Ramesh and Wu, 2008). The report (World Bank, 2009) suggested that the trend also showed that public share of spending had continually to increase due to the establishment of Askeskin in 2004. B. Structure and Organizations of Private Providers Institutional providers can be classified into primary care, secondary and tertiary care. Based on profit motives, private providers can be classified as non-for-profit and for-profit. There is a clear separation of state and private institutional providers. In 2000s, private providers had been developed across Indonesia. In this analysis private providers can be 9 classified into two main groups based on level of service: (1) Promotive, Preventive, and Primary Care; and (2) Secondary and Tertiary Care. C.1 Promotive, Preventive and Primary Care There are mainly two types of promotive, preventive and primary care: local and foreign organizations. Local Organization: Humanity Foundations: PKBI, Yayasan Kusuma Buana, Faith Base Foundation, Chirstian (YAKKUM), Muhammadiyah (MKKM). Most domestic humanity foundation such as PKBI and Yayasan Kusuma Buana operates in limited health services. These organizations provide promotive, and preventive services and research in public health. It is difficult to make separation of promotive and private with the curative care. Most big NGOs which provide promotive and preventive care also providing curative care such as Yakkum and MKKM. Foreign Private providers Many private providers work in Indonesia in the prevention and primary care. Most of private providers are international non government organizations. By laws, these organizations should register in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Based on its ownership, Hospital can be categorized into: 1. State-Owned Hospital, managed by: a. Ministry of Health b. Provincial government c. District/Municipal government d. Army/Police e. Other Ministries/BUMN (State Owned Corporation) 2. Private-Owned Hospital, managed by: a. Corporates b. Foundation/Association/Institution Based on its type, hospital can be categorized into: 1. General hospital 2. Mental hospital 3. Special hospital, comprising: a. RS Kusta (leprosy) b. RS Tuberkulosa Paru (RSTP) (TB) c. RS Mata (Eye) d. RS Bersalin (RSB) (Maternal) e.

Class A General hospital 2. Class B General hospital 3. Class C General hospital 4. Class D General hospital Meanwhile, army/police owned hospital can be categorized into: 1. Level 1 general hospital 2. Level 2 general hospital 3. Level 3 general hospital 4. Level 4 general hospital Hospital can also be differentiated into: 1. Teaching hospital 2. Non teaching hospital Based on the distribution, most hospitals are in Java Island. For state hospitals, 254 out of 667 are in Java. This is approximately 45% of state hospitals. For private hospitals, 61% (404 out of 653) is in Java. This shows the market attractiveness of Java for private hospitals. Figure 1 shows the distribution of hospital across provinces in Indonesia. Figure 1 Hospital Distribution 12 However if the ratio to population is used as the basis of comparison, the availability of hospital beds to population shows different result. Java Island is the most dense populated island. (Figure 2). Figure 2. The Ratio of the number of hospitals per 100.000 In 1998, state hospitals number was bigger (589) than private ones (491), however, a decade later, the number of private hospital increased to 653 and state hospital became 667. The growth of private hospitals increased by 2,91 % (on average) per year, while the state hospital is 1,25 % per year. Graph 1 Growth of number of hospital In general, the private hospitals have smaller number of beds. Graph 2 shows that private hospitals beds is far below the state-ones. The state hospitals usually are big teaching hospitals, and provincial hospitals, while the major private hospitals are faith based hospitals which have long history since the pre-independence period. 13 Graph 2 Growth of number of hospital beds C.2.1 The growth of state hospitals As shown in the Graph 3, within the last decade, the three groups of hospitals based on the number of beds have an average annual growth rate that is only slightly different: 3.1; 2.1; 2.6 respectively. Since 2003, the smaller hospital (0 – 50 beds) shows a steady growth rate, the highest growth rate occurred in 2008 with the total amount of 11 hospitals. In the medium size hospital (51 – 150 beds), evidence indicated that the highest growth rate occurred in 2001 with the amount of 12 hospitals. However, the big hospital (beds > 150) indicated a positive trend that occurred in the period 2004-2007 along with the highest growth rate of 16 hospitals in 2007. Graph 3. The Growth Rate of State Hospitals Based on the Number of Beds 14 In term of distributions, the highest average growth of hospitals (the period 19982008), for small hospital (0 – 50 beds) is in North Sumatra Province. It had an average growth rate of 1 hospital per annum. The medium size hospital (51 – 150 beds) has higher growth in Central Kalimantan Province (0.3), while the big hospital (beds > 150) is in West Java province (0.8). C.2.2. The Private Hospital Growth The private hospitals consist of for profit and non-for-profit organization. The definition of for-profit based on the legal status of hospital. Private hospital is regarded as profit organization if the hospital use corporate status (Laws no 40/2007 on Limited Company and Laws no 8/1995 on Public Corporation. Under this legislation, the owners of hospital can receive payment or devident from hospital operation’s profit. For-profit private health care organization can be classified into chain-hospital, ambulatory and out-patient clinic care network, emergency providers, or single provider. . The non-profit is registered based on Foundation Law, or Statblad for Perkumpulan (Association). There is no rules on ownership in the Foundation Law. The religious groups are the common owners of these organizations such as: Moslem (MUKISI, with many groups, the largest is Muhammadyah), Christian (YAKKUM, the modern successor of zending movement), Catholic (PERDHAKI with many congregrations). Although the foundations are non-profit, basically the management model is similar to the for profit ones. The detail number of hospitals in the forms of Foundation (81,8%), Limited Company (PT, 13,8%) and Association (4,4%) as shown in Table 3: Table: 3 Private Hospitals ownership NO Ownership 1 Companies 2 Foundation 3 Association Total N 90 534 29 653 2008 % 14% 82% 4% 100% Using a more detailed table, the situation of private hospitals is shown in Table 4. There are three provinces that have no private hospitals: Central Kalimantan, Gorontalo, and North Maluku. On the other extreme, DKI Jakarta has 90 private hospitals, and Central Java has 114 private hospitals. This situation is presumably relates to the socio-economic condition of the provinces. 15 Table 4 Number of Private Hospitals and Their Beds classified according to their ownership and region PRIVATE NO 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 PROVINCE NAD Sumatera Utara Sumatera Barat Riau Jambi Sumatera Selatan Bengkulu Lampung Bangka Belitung Kepulauan Riau DKI Jakarta Jawa Barat Jawa Tengah DIY Jawa Timur Banten Bali NTB NTT Kalimantan Barat Kalimantan Tengah Kalimantan Selatan Kalimantan Timur Sulawesi Utara Sulawesi Tengah Sulawesi Selatan Sulawesi Tenggara Gorontalo Sulawesi Barat Maluku Maluku Utara Papua Barat Papua INDONESIA CORPORATE RS 1 6 4 1 1 1 2 34 18 4 4 5 1 1 4 1 1 1 90 TT 47 534 243 68 89 190 254 3,159 1,484 293 401 437 70 72 223 46 25 72 7,707 FOUNDATION RS 6 62 18 4 3 8 1 10 2 4 50 58 109 25 66 10 19 2 6 8 8 6 11 8 18 2 1 5 1 3 534 16 TT 273 4,452 821 372 180 969 106 777 186 321 4,010 4,828 8,669 2,091 5,019 546 943 117 399 882 496 682 1,157 379 1,526 82 50 276 50 176 40,835 ASSOCIATION RS 1 7 4 1 8 1 3 1 2 1 29 TT 149 1,848 1,103 25 1,074 92 160 15 250 30 4,746 TOTAL RS 7 68 19 8 4 9 1 11 2 6 91 80 114 25 78 16 20 2 9 9 8 10 11 8 19 4 1 7 2 4 653 TT 320 4,986 970 615 248 1,058 106 967 186 575 9,017 7,415 8,987 2,091 6,494 1,075 1,013 117 559 954 496 905 1,157 379 1,572 122 50 526 122 206 53,288 The density of private hospital distribution across Indonesia could be seen in Figure 3. Figure 3. Distribution of the Number of Private Hospitals In the last 5 years, the most rapid growth is the Company-owned hospitals. In 2003 there were 49 for-profit private hospitals. In 2008, it almost doubled and became 85 hospitals. Most new for-profit hospital were established in Jakarta and other big cities. In the same period, the number of foundation hospitals increase from 530 to 539. The Association hospital grew from 27 become 29. The 1998-2008 growth is shown in Table 5. Table 5.

Since the year 2000 the small hospitals grew rapidly. The big hospitals grew steadily, not drastically. It is interesting that this growth was occurred during the initial stage of decentralization and also after monetary crisis in 1998. Graph 5 The Growth Rate of Private Hospitals Based on the Number of Beds As shown by the Graph 5 and table 6, the more detailed description of private hospitals has some features. The small hospital (0 – 50 beds) had achieved an accelerated growth from 1998 to 2004. The highest growth rate occurred in 2003 that reached the amount of 16 Private Hospitals. On average, the growth rate is 6.8 Private Hospitals per annum. This is less than the growth medium size hospital (51 to 150 beds). This can be explained by the fact that some of the smallest hospitals grew and becan the mid-soze hospitals. 18 Table 6.

The highest growth rate occurred in 2001 with the establishment of 17 new private hospitals. The average growth rate is 7.3 private Hospitals per annum. The private hospital group of beds > 150 had a steady growth from 1998 to 2006. The highest growth rate occurred in 2008 and the average growth rate is 2.1 per year. The highest average growth of private small hospital period 1998-2008, is in East Java province. The medium size private hospital highhest growth rate is in Central Java province (1.2 per annum). The big private hospital growth is highest in West Java province and Central Java province (0.5 per annum). Based on number of beds, the growth of private hospitals showed similar trends. Graph 6. The Growth Rate of Private Hospitals Beds Based on the Group of Beds The data shows that the private medium size hospital (51 – 150 beds) had the highest and significant growth from 1998 to 2008. The highest growth occurred in 2001 with totaling of 1372 beds. The average growth rate is 650.5 beds per annum, far exceeded smaller hospitals. Although the small hospital had a rising growth from 1998 to 2004 with the highest growth occurred in 2002 with the total number of 653 beds, the average growth rate is only 225.7 beds per annum. The growth of big hospital (beds > 150) was rising in 2002 to 2006, yet it slowed down in 2007. The highest growth occurred in 2008 with the total number of 943 beds, while the average growth rate of 313.7 beds per annum. 19 Table 7.

C.2.2.i Private Hospitals owned by Companies The Company owned private hospital grew rapidly during the last 10 years. Most hospitals in this group was established in the strong economic provinces regions such as North Sumatera, Riau, Jakarta, West Java, Central Java, and East Java, and East Kalimantan. Figure 4.

C. National Health Expenditure In the last 10 years, a significant effort from government is to develop health protection for medical care. This notion is reflected in the following Table 14 Table 14 Health Expenditure Health Expenditure Expenditure ratios Total expenditure on health (THE) as % of GDP Financing Agents measurement General government expenditure on health (GGHE) as % of THE Private sector expenditure on health (PvtHE) as % of THE General government expenditure on health as % of GGE Social security funds as % of GGHE Private households' out-ofpocket payment as % of PvtHE Prepaid and risk-pooling plans as % of PvtHE Source : World Health Organization, 2007 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2.7 2.8 2.9 2.8 2.7 33.1 33.7 31.6 34.2 34.7 66.9 66.3 68.4 65.8 65.3 4.2 5.3 4.6 5.0 5.0 8.9 10.2 11.7 10.8 21.3 75.1 75.3 76.0 74.7 74.3 4.1 5.1 5.6 5.9 6.0 26 This trend is the result of various milestones in the development of health protection. In the early 1990s, the Jaminan Pemeliharaan Kesehatan Masyarakat (JPKM) or Health Care Security for the Community Program, the principal Indonesian program of managed health care, was introduced. JPKM was a means of providing prepaid comprehensive and continuous quality health care. All prepaid health care programs run by the government as well as by the private sector have to abide by its principles. Its payment mechanism is through negotiated contracts with registered providers. The Askeskin Program was introduced in 2005 to replace JPKM, with the national health insurance company (PT Askes Indonesia) contracted to manage the program. This national program targeted the poor and near-poor. It does reach many poor people, but has had considerable problems with targeting and with the quality of service delivery. In addition, the Askeskin premium is underfunded on a per capita basis. Other problems include incomplete data collection on poor people, inappropriate charging by, and quality control of, hospitals, nonoptimal claims verification, insufficient budgets for health services, and inadequate support for local government in coordinating, monitoring and controlling the program. In 2008, Askeskin was changed into Jamkesmas with the aim of providing access to health services for the poor and near-poor, by exempting them from user charges at the point of delivery. In 2008, the program had enrolled 76 million poor people with targeted recipients identified by local authorities. The health benefits are comprehensive and based on medical indications. The program abandoned the insurance model. PT Askes’ Indonesia role was reduced as the operator of the system and it is now limited to managing the poor and nearpoor members enrolled in the scheme. Jamkesmas is a social aid program, and is covered by the national budget (APBN) as social security in the health sector. The budget in 2008 is Rp.4.6 trillion. Alongside Jamkesmas,local governments in various provinces and districts have Jamkesda. The effect of the program was positive for hospital utilization in improving the access and utilization. The data showed that JPSBK provided good effect, as it can be seen at the result as follows: 0,3 Hos pital Inpatient Care 0,2 Kakwani Index 0,1 Hos pital Outpatient Care 0 KI 2001 KI 2004 Non-hos pital Inpatient Care -0,1 -0,2 Non-hos pital Outpatient Care -0,3 All Non Hos pital Care -0,4 Tahun Graph 10. The effect of JSPBK toward the index of Kakwani The Susenas data 2001 and 2004 indicated that the Kakwani index showed its development. The utilization of rate of hospital and other health services showed that there 27 were more poor households who used health facilities. Starting in 2005 the government has taken firmer stand to improve, finance and management of poor community health. The effect was very clear. It strongly increased the Bed Occupancy Rate/BOR of the third class words in the hospital up to 100%. The use of the health service by the poor drastically increased up to 392% from 1.4 million in 2005 to 6.5 million in 2007. The hospital inpatient care increased up to 432% from 562,167 in 2005 to 2,431,139 in 20079. The problem related to the aspect of poor community included the criteria and process of reporting the poor community. There were many other cards passed around like SKTM, BLT (Cash Direct Support), Raskin (Rice for the Poor) and others. Most of them lived relatively far from the service center which caused transportation problem for the poor. The poor community depended much on their daily or weekly wage or field and agriculture so if they got ill they had to leave their work. Some of them still experienced discrimination service compared to those who paid. Other prominent problem was the lack of socialization so that many poor communities were unaware of their right and duty on the health insurance for the poor. From the aspect of hospital care, there were many problems. The payment of hospital claim was often delayed for months. The hampered of money supply caused chain of problems. The hospital had to be responsible for the medicines that were not in the formularies, the hospital had to manage many administration problems, even some hospitals had to cross check by themselves if the patient was truly poor. From the aspect of central government, the problem was generally related to the planning, and slow implementation, especially the manual distribution. The implementation of control and supervision needed to be improved, including developing manual for local government to improve the insurance system for the poor family. However, the main problem at the local government was that they did not really function and involve in the program of health insurance for the poor. Role, function, assignment and distribution of affairs in financing and health insurance as regulated in PP No. 38/2004 and UU No. 32/2004 were not optimal yet. Some Local Governments thought that financing of poor community health was the responsibility of the central government. The local government had no sense of belonging toward the health insurance. D. Key Issues E1. Utilization The result of Equitap research (based on DHS data) on health financing in Indonesia between 2000 – 2005 indicated a positive trend. Health financing policy between 2000 to 2005 had somewhat improved the equity situation. Prior to the health financing reform, hospitals (public and private) were merely used by the richer group in the community. Most poor people did not use it because there were limited resources for doing so. The financial protection program had reduced financial barriers to access for poor households in both hospital and non-hospital services. However another analysis (based on MoH data on hospital and human resources distribution) showed a persistent inequity. The number of hospital and medical doctors is not well distributed. The National Financial Health Protection Policy (Jamkesmas) allowed 9 Mukti AG. (2008) Alternatif pengelolaan Askeskin 2008. Workshop oleh Kemetrian Koordinator Kesejerahteraan Rakyat RI. Jakarta 28 private hospitals to treat poor and near-poor patients. The Benefit Package is comprehensive enough which included high technology and costly medical treatment. This might increase access of poor and near-poor in urban and Java for private hospital and high cost medical care. It is projected that the health budget will be absorbed by these groups. However, there is a concern on the affordability and geographical equity.

Notably, the rate of increase in utilization rates was higher for the poorest quintile than for the richest quintile for all types of public sector services. In particular, the poorest quintile’s utilization of state hospital inpatient services quadrupled during this period, compared with a more moderate increase of approximately 50 percent for the richest quintile. Despite these increases, the socioeconomic gradient in the use of state hospital services continues to favor the rich, while the gradient for the use of ambulatory care services favors the poor. The use of private hospital services did not change much, but the use of private sector ambulatory care services increased significantly, particularly by the poor.

E.2 The role of government in the hospital sector In describing the role of government in Indonesian hospital sector, this section uses the World Bank’s report (1997) that emphasized on the state’s roles in improving the distribution and market failure. The report mentioned that a state holds 3 levels of roles: ( 1) minimum role; ( 2) middle role; and ( 3) role as activity executor. In the minimum role, a government performs as a public service provider, for instances: defense, law and regulation, 31 copyrights, microeconomic management, and public health. Besides, the government should improve programs to overcome poverty, protecting the poor, and handling disaster. In the higher role, within the activity of overcoming the market failure, a government should conduct a variety of activities, for instances: guaranteeing elementary education, protecting environment, arranging monopolies, overcoming matters related to uneven information, and to provide social insurance. In hospital service the government major role can be differentiated into three functions (Kovner 1995): financing, delivery, and regulation. In a decentralized country like Indoneisa, there are multiple governments: national, provincial, and districts. These functions are distributed using complex legal authority transfer. Moreover in a market-based system, the role of government can be in the form of providing subsidy or taxation for preventing the market failure. Based on the historical observation it is clear that private hospitals in Indonesia experienced a transformation from military and philanthropic organizations became for-profit corporation between 1998-2008. The impact of this transformation is the increase of market failure in hospital service. The progress of medical technology and epidemiology increase the hospital service cost which can not be paid by poor family. The for-profit corporate hospitals target the lucrative afluent community, while the non-profit organisations serve the poor ones. The market failed to provide hospital services for everybody. This section will discuss the role of government of Indonesia in overcoming the market failure. An international analysis will be presented. The approach of the discussion used circular flow which based on the following diagram: Production Market Household expenditure Revenue Goods and Services demanded Goods and Services Provided Firm Household Input factors from household Firms input Production Cost paid by Firm Household income Production Factor Market Figure 6. The Circular Flow Hospital can be regarded as a Firm, in the form of for profit or non-profit organization. Hospitals produce services to household. The households demand hospitals services and use payment to buy the service in the product market. On the production factor market, households provide one of the inputs for production. The input will be paid by the hospitals. 32 Using this model, poor households who do not have enough financial resources for accessing hospital service will be left out from the market. Moreover some hospitals can not have medical doctors because the cost of paying the doctors is too high. Hospital will cease to operate. Therefore there is a need for various government interventions in the hospital market. E.2.1 Financing function The financing role in Indonesian hospital service takes a long route of transformation from direct government subsidy to the hospital, community payment, and charity financing to a new model of complex social security. Before the economic crisis in 1997, government financing to hospital basically is a subsidy type for public hospitals. Private hospitals can not get the subsidy, although in colonical period, government provided subsidy for missionarist hospitals. The absence of direct subsidy to the hospitals make the hospitals serve more for the rich. It is reported in series of Equitap research that Indonesia’ richer groups are using hospital more than the poor10. This is a complete opposite compared to the utilization of the health centers. The lack of subsidy and the declining charity funds for private hospitals (which includes the traditional Christian and Catholic hospitals), gradually marginalized the poor from hospitals. Although missionarist hospital was established for charity purpose, the user of these hospitals is dominated by the rich community. The non-profit hospital is branded as for profit ones. This labelling became more problematic due to the economic behaviour of medical specialists. The specialists became a very afluent and elitist group in Indonesian society. Many traditional charity donation for faith-based (especially the Christian) hospital gradually declined. Many faith-based leaders use the cross subsidy approach for financing the poor patients. The meaning of cross subsidy is limited to the use of so-called “profit” from VIP patients charges to cover the cost of services to the poor. In early 1990s, the public hospitals policy were influenced by the corporatization and new public management movement. A new policy of financial autonomy in public hospitals was established through Presidential Decree (Swadana policy in 1993).This policy was actually intended to improve the quality public hospital through the flexibility of financial management and the direct use of hospital revenue. The hospital revenue can be used to increase the doctor’ income through fee-for-service payment mechanism. The immediate impact of this policy made many public hospitals built VIP ward, or formalizing the ilegal doctor’s payment. Medical specialist enjoyed the increase of income through this policy.11 However some of high officers in Indonesia thought that financial autonomy (Swadana) policy equal the decrease of subsidy for public hospitals. A nation-wide endorsement for the so called “cross-subsidy” was organised during the implementation of Swadana policy. Various cost-analysis studies done by Gadjah Mada University proved that there is no profit from VIP wards. Using accounting principles, the VIP wards in public hospitals and also some private hospitals, were making loss instead of profits. However the revenue from VIP O’Donnell O, Van Doorslaer E, Rannan-Eliya R, Somanathan A, Co-Author; Adhikari S, Baktygul Akkazieva B, Harbianto D, C. Garg C, Hanvoravongchai P, N. Herrin A, N.

Gadjah Mada University Press. 33 patients can be used directly for increasing doctor’s income and hospital facilities. The debate of “cross-subsidy” became intense. The view from Gadjah Mada University pointed out that hospital accross Indonesia should be managed by corporate-type management system but should be subsidized for financing the cost of services to the poor patients. There is no place for cross-subsidy in hospital management. The use of “profit” from VIP had no evidence and was flawed. The rich, in fact, can be poor due to illness. The cost for the poor should be financed by government budget not by community. In 1997-1999, Indonesia suffered from catastrophic economic crisis. To overcome the financial impact for the poor family Government of Indonesia launced a massive national policy of Social Safety Net using ADB financing scheme. The Social Safety Net covered health and hospital service called as Health Sector Social Safety Net. This policy actually introduced for the first time: the subsidy for household (demand side). In 1999 national hospital association meeting, the debate of cross subsidy was openly discussed. Trisnantoro coined the new term of Indonesian hospital as a This government intervention in the household growth politically and became social security movement to support household for accessing hospital services. Social security in the forms of: Social Safety Net (1999) was replaced by Askeskin program (2004) and Jamkesmas (2005). This policy aims to lower the financial barier to the poor by providing social security. The impact of this protection policy is clear. The incidence of catastrophic Out Of Pocket health expenditures is relatively low and has declined over time12. Equity in utilization of health services has improved over time, with significant improvements in access to public hospital services. The incidence of public subsidies for health care has also become more propoor over time. But, regional inequality in access to services has not improved over time. Comparison of trends in inequalities with the distribution of health service infrastructure across Indonesia suggested that physical barriers to access may underlie the regional inequalities. Shortages in inputs such as medical specialist and trained nurses. Financial health protection policy allows private hospitals to treat poor and near poor patients. The Benefit Package is broad, including high technology and costly medical treatment. The benefit packet increases the access of poor and near poor in urban and Java for private hospital and high cost medical care. Based on Provincial Data (33) and Susenas (Household Survey) data at Provincial Level showed that the higher the ratio of hospital bed and population in a province, the more the utilization of hospital. The same pattern happened accross quintile in public and private hospitals. As summary, the national policy for financial protection have positive pro-poor impact. But, this is insufficient. The regional inequity was not sufficiently tackled during 2001 – 2008. Without policy for improving medical service and medical doctors distribution, it is projected that central government budget for financial protection will be used mostly by urban and Java population. E.2.2 Regulation function According to other references, the regulation role of government covers of stewardship function. Stewardship is defined as a “function of a government responsible for the welfare of the population, and concerned about the trust and legitimacy with which its activities are viewed by the citizenry”.13 Preker et al14 describe the stewardship function for guiding the 12 Trisnantoro L. Somanathan A, Harbianto D. 2009. Health care financing reforms in Indonesia: bridging health economics and policy, Equity and Financial Protection in Health Care. IHEA Conference Beijing 13 World Health Report 2000. 34 health system along policies and coordinates the various stakeholders and players within an established framework. In Indonesian hospital system, Ministry of Health is one of the important actors in regulation function. However, in reality Ministry of Health holds multi-function position as Stewardship authority, financier agent, health and hospital governance policy makers, and also executing operational management. This multi-function role is the responsibility of the Director General of Medical Service. This DGs supervises more than 1400 hospitals across Indonesia, while in the same time operates around 34 central government hospitals. The supervising function is delegated to provincial and district level, through decentralization policy. In a decentralized Indonesia, it could be seen that the efforts to improve public health status were not only government domain especially the Ministry of Health. Regulation No. 38 Year 2007 and No. 41 Year 2007 emphasized that Provincial and District Health Office should coordinate various agents in health care sector. Decentralization of health care principally delegated health affairs to the regional government. The local government offices were the highest institution in charge of a sector delegated to the region. At provincial and district level, the regulatory function is held by PHO and DHO respectively. Provincial and district public hospitals were separated from PHO/DHO. The policy of shifting public hospitals away from PHO and DHO is inline with an important concept was based on the Good Governance as stated by the United Nations Development Program (UNDP): "The exercise of economic, political and administrative authority to manage a country's affairs at all levels. It comprises the mechanisms, processes and institutions through which citizens and groups articulate their interests, exercise their legal rights, meet their obligations and mediate their differences ...". Using this definition, public hospitals are monitored and supervised by DHO/PHO and should be re-licenced every 5 year. This licence policy is similar to private hospitals relicencing system. This policy reflects the political willingness of government to become the regulator of health system which based on market system. A state-owned hospital was similar to the private hospital concerning this matter. In Government’s Regulation No. 38 Year 2007, the district administration was in charge of: (1) giving recommendation concerning license on certain health facilities provided by the government and the provinces, (2) Giving a license to health facilities including hospital from class C, class D, the equivalent private hospitals, group practices, general/ specialist clinics, maternity clinic, family doctor/ dentist, complementary medicine, traditional healing, and equivalent supporting facilities. One of the consequences of Government’s Regulation No. 38 Year 2007 was the separation of government functions as a hospital regulator and operator. In the regional level, it was clear that state-owned hospitals no longer acted as integrated service unit offices, but it was an operator separated from the Office (Law No. 32 Year 2004, Law no. 1 Year 2005 on public service agency, Government’s Regulation No. 41 Year 2007). In the region, Government’s Regulation No. 41 Year 2007 as a derivative of Law No. 32 Year 2004 firmly stated that Regional Hospital was not part of the Official services (Government’s Regulation No. 41 Year 2007 Article 22). Local Hospital underwent a process called corporatization, while the Health Office was expected to undergo the process as a regulator. Thus, in the future, Government’s Regulation No. 41 Year 2007 gives clear directions to the relationship between Health Office and state-owned Hospital based on the principle of good governance. Provincial government was in charge of: (1) providing recommendation to the government on license concerning particular health facility, and (2) giving a license to health 14 Preker A. Liu X. Velenyi E. Baris E. 2007. Public Ends Private Means. The World Bank 35 facilities including state-owned hospital class B non-teaching hospital, specific hospitals, private hospitals and equivalent supporting health facilities. At central level, this situation has not happened yet. DG of Medical Service still manages the operational activities of big teaching hospitals and other central government hospitals. This multi-function costs dearly. Various hospital policies and regulation are not well managed by MoH. There is a battle of turf on licencing, accreditation system, and equipment procurement. Corruption based on medical equipment facilities is increasing in the last 10 years. The separation of operator from the regulator was an important part of the governance principle. By changing the central state-owned hospital into central public service agency, it should have a change on Directorate General (DG) of Medical Services. The central stateowned hospitals authorities should change into hospital operators that received similar treatment with the private hospital, the local state-owned hospital and military hospital. This was stated firmly in Government’s Regulation No. 38 Year 2007. Meanwhile the Ministry of Health should act as the regulator and policy maker. In the future it is expected central hospitals become a non-bureaucratic institution (in terms of an institution that provides public services) and transfered from DG of Medical Services. This DG should concentrates in the regulatory function of hospital system in Indonesia. E.2.3 Delivery function The development of private hospital can not be separated from the policy of organizational structure in the delivery function. After independence, gradually statehospitals becoming more bureaucratic. The management of public hospitals was confused and had no conceptual framework. Medical doctors were not satisfied with professional income and have multiple-practices in the private sector. Even, some prominent specialists established their own hospitals. Public hospitals suffered from the effect of poor management system, and they became the inferior-good compared to private ones. To improve the delivery function, the limited financial autonomy (Swadana) policy was continued with various changes. The latest was in 2007 by the Decree of Ministry of Home Affairs (Kepmendagri) No. 61 on regional Public Service Agency (BLU). This Decree was a final culminating point concerning the centralized policy on BLU that began in 2004 (Laws No. 1 on State Treasury) and continued with the Government Regulation (PP) No. 23/2005. The policy on Public Service Agency (BLU) is conceptually a governmental decree that acknowledges facts that there are three types of services administered by government such as: (1) Public goods; (2) Semi (quasi) public goods; and (3) private goods. The separation between public and private goods is not a dichotomy, rather implies a spectrum, supported by quasi-public goods. Public Goods Private Goods Figure 7. A Continuum between Public and Private Services 36 In the hospital context, it is clear that the service is not a only public goods or private goods. Whatever services done, original public goods are needed for all customers, for example, in the ICU. Meanwhile, services using private goods, for example, are appropriate for plastic surgical operation. The decision to choose public and private goods depends on the willingness and ability of state to pay them. In the ideal situation, all citizens have rights to get a good health service because they deserve it. Indeed, this is an urgent need to access all public goods-oriented health services. However, medical technology and hospital service are costly hence it is impossible for Indonesian government to finance everything. Some customers are able to pay for every service provided, but some others are not. In the regulated market environment Government of Indonesia choose the policy of not privatizing the delivery of public hospital services. This is also stated in the Hospital Laws which was enacted on the end of 2009. The chosen strategy is Public Service Agency (Badan Layanan Umum, BLU) that recognizes a concept called quasi-public goods. Therefore, governmental revenues from Local Revenue & Expenditure Budget (APBD) and State Revenue & Expenditure Budget (APBN) can be used, and this institution has authority to get income from public health services paid by communities.

Public Service Agency (BLU) Concept Coined by Ministry of Home Affairs Referring to the diagram above, it is clear that the status of a hospital as a Public Service Agency (BLU) is a non-profit state corporation. This kind of hospital is managed by central or local government, act as a service unit but continued to be subsidized for providing the service for the poor. By using a Public Service Agency (BLU) system, state-run hospitals avoid bureaucratic nature of services; however, it is not a for-profit State-Owned Corporation or privatization. In this context, the Public Service Agency (BLU) is not a for-profit Government-Owned Corporation. The position of a Public Service Agency (BLU) is in the middle between PNBP (bureaucratic State Enterprise) and for-profit BUMD (Local-Owned Corporation) or BUMN (State-Owned Corporation) as illustrated below: 37 Bureaucratic Institution Pole DECREE No. 20/1997 PNBP Swadana Corporation Pole DECREE No. 1/2004 BLUD BLU DECREE ON BUMD: DECREE No. 5/1962 DECREE No. 9/1969 ( changed in 2003) For-Profit State Owned Corp Figure 9. A continuum between Bureaucratic Institution and BUMD As a non-profit service institution, a Public Service Agency (BLU) cannot avoid an economic measures in determining service tariffs. For certain poor communities, there is a tariff that is discounted up to 0 rate to facilitate services. There is also a unit-cost tariff applied for better off communities, for example, VIP ward services in hospitals. Hence, the Public Service Agency (BLU) needs to have a unit-cost basis, for example, costs per nursing patients, laboratory examination cost, and so on. In this matter, an understanding on subsidies is important to know the costs related to market-cost disparities and the costs of certain products set by government to fulfill poor communities’ needs. The characteristics of a nonprofit and social mission institution varies. It is neither purely based on humanity nor commercial-oriented. Table 16.

(1999). Enterprising nonprofits. In Harvard Business on Nonprofits Harvard Business Press. 38 Combined with BLU policy, a new policy for having modern technology in hospital service, some big teaching hospitals like RSCM in Jakarta was granted internationalisation project for hospital service. This policy had impact on acquiring new medical technology. Private hospitals, including the luxurious hospitals is left behind in terms of technology. Using the new management system and flexible incentive system for medical doctors, some specialists prefer to stay in the teaching hospitals. This will be the new generation of medical specialist who do not want to continue on dual practices. E.3 Tax and Levy policies Using the circular flow concept, an important role of Government is identified in terms of the tax and levy policies. The use of Taxation on product sales may reduce the household consumption, such as in cigarette or alcohol tax. In the economy, tax incentives are usually meant to either reduce the tax burden on a particular segment of society in the interests of fairness and/or to promote some type of economic activity through reducing the tax burden on those organizations or individuals who are involved in that activity. Values existed in taxation policy. A nation's tax system is often a reflection of its communal values or the values of those in power. To create a system of taxation, a nation must make choices regarding the distribution of the tax burden—who will pay taxes and how much they will pay—and how the taxes collected will be spent. In Indonesia, before the new Hospital Law in 2009, the tax policy is not supportive for hospital development, especially the non-profit. There is no tax incentives for hospitals which provide charity care or social duty. There is no tax incentive for corporation which give charity donation to support hospital. On top of these, there are many levies for hospital. This was one of the reasons why many non-profit hospitals suffer from financial problems. In domestic competition, the foundations based non-profit hospitals must serve the poor due to faith-based dogma and humanity mission. Most foundation hospitals work in middle and lower class of the society which is funded by Jamkesmas. This market segment is a making loss market. On the other side the for-profit hospitals operated in higher economy group. This market segment is lucrative. The irony is that the non-profit and for-profit hospitals have the same tax treatment16. The same taxation treatment for non-profit and for-profit hospitals is unfair. The charity hospitals will be less efficient compared to the for-profit. It is worsen by the fact that some religious leaders still applied the idea of internal cross-subsidy for financing poor patients. In some big cities such as Jakarta and Surabaya, the market share of faith-based hospitals is shrinking. Another problem is the relatively unclear Foundation Laws which is applied to non-profit hospitals. Compared to the for-profit Corporate Laws, the Foundation Laws lacks of governance arrangement and financial control system. As the result, some foundation nonprofit hospitals act like for-profit ones. For international competition, the tax burden and also high levy and custom for medical facilities increases the Indonesia hospital cost. For instance, compared to Malaysia, Vietnam which has tax and custom incentives for hospital service, Indonesia hospitals have to pay more taxes and levies. Up to 2009, Government of Indonesia opted the position not to promote hospital sector as an economic activity based on industrial principle. However in 16 FGD, leaders of Christian, Catholic, Moslem, Local Government, and Indonesian hospital associations held in Granadi September 2009. 39 2009, after an intense lobbying from faith-based hospitals and teaching hospitals associations, the new Hospital Laws (initiated by Ministry of Health) provided a chance for having tax incentive for public hospitals, non-profit private hospitals and teaching hospitals. However this Law still has difficult implementation due to the fact that the Tax Laws (initiated by Ministry of Finance) are not moving in the same direction. The Tax Laws stated that hospital sector is unlike education or research, thus it is subject for taxation like any other industries. Based on the function of government, the important question is that how the future policy on private hospitals? From the discussion above it is clear that the policy on finance, regulation, delivery, and taxation in not developed in an integrated manner. It can be stated that at current situation, Government of Indonesia policy on state and private hospitals is still an ongoing progress. One important statement is that being in the hospital business is not charity in and of itself. This statement is important for addressing the roots of the problems of hospital service: whether hospital is an industrial sector or a social one, or a combined feature. An interesting question is: from which country does Indonesia need to learn more about hospitals policy? To answer this question it is important for some matching the macro economy characteristic, the government functions and health system characteristics. Table 17. The characteristics of some countries in health system Country Structure Economy Health Financing Regulation Delivery Taxation US Federal Regulated Market Multiple sources Highly regulated Big private sector UK Centralized Tax based Indonesia Decentralized Highly regulated Low regulated Small private sector Big private sector Malaysia Centralized Cuba Centralized Regulated Market (un) regulated market Regulated market Communism Incentives for charity care No nonprofit Still in the beginning Highly regulated Government Small private sector Government providers Multiple Sources Tax based Government Revenue All private are for profit No private The above table shows that Indonesia shared the most identical characteristic with the US. In Indonesia, the Safety net system is typically the same principle with Medicaid and Medicare. Medicaid, the health care program for low-income families, which is funded principally with federal and state finance is similar with Jamkesmas (National social fund) and Jamkesda (Local government social fund). The US public hospitals and clinics, which are funded with a mix of federal, state and local tax dollars are in the same situation with Indonesian public hospitals. Publicly-funded charity care, which is also subsidized with federal, state and local tax dollars given to non-profit hospitals in the form of tax breaks is now became the subject for tax incentives in Indonesia. To further enable the private sector, in particular the non profit hospital to grow, the government should have a clear regulation based on: Clear definition of “charity care”, “non profit”, “community benefits”, etc. Sound accounting practices for non profit hospital Requirement for charity care plan and policies 40 Some of the legislation choices that the government could make are: Tax exempt based on the amount of charity care or community benefit for public hospitals; Levy relief based on the amount of charity care Tax incentives for corporate or individual donations Lowering import custom for medical technology equipment Social charges (discounted) for utilities charges (water, electricity, etc) E.4 Contracting Out After more than 8 years of applying decentralization policy in Indonesia, there is a pertinent question to ask. Is decentralization able to improve health services efficiency and even distribution? A myriad of facts shows that local government, particularly health department at provincial and regional levels has something to do with difficulties to manage health services in remote regions in hinterland or archipelago. In general, the governments have limited or even no capacity to solve the problem concerning even distribution of health services in such regions. Ideas and alternative solutions such as contracting out system should be taken into consideration. Regencies in Eastern Indonesia also tried contracting out system. Yahukimo Regency in Papua pioneered contracting out system as well. It was directly managed by Yahukimo Regent not through the bidding but through cooperation or a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with a foundation based in Bandung. This foundation provides health and medical workers to assist the implementation of health services in agreed remote areas. The model applied in Yahukimo is legally possible due to the issuance of Government Regulation (PP) No.50/2007 on Implementation Procedures of Local Cooperation though its operational regulations are being in the process of completion. Government Regulation (PP) No.50/2007 provides new cooperative opportunities with local governments in regencies, Ministry of Health, Health Science College or University, NGOs or foundation. The local governments have the initiative to take “opportunities” and make an MoU with the college or university and then negotiate with the Ministry of Health to get allocation of Non-permanent Employee (PTT) budget based on the needs, and finally cooperate with NGOs or foundations to manage preparation, placement, empowerment, monitoring, evaluation and contracted health and medical workers’ rotations. These alternatives can be applied by regencies that have limited Local Revenue & Expenditure Budget (APBD). On the other hand, for rich regencies, the contracting out alternative as applied in Berau Regency is worth considering. The prospect of contracting-out system in decentralized era is more promising. However, for rich regions, the awareness and stakeholders’ commitments are required to support those activities. By contrast, for poor regions, the creativity to cooperate with other institutions is necessary, including asking for capable human resources and budgets from either central, local governments or donors. Source of funding may vary. For rich regencies, the support from Local Revenue & Expenditure Budget (APBD) is not problematic like what has happened in Berau Regency. For regencies in Papua and West Papua, they special autonomy funds and also the opportunities to use a program called Save Papua initiated by central government, or they take funds from donors like AusAid, or other donor agencies. For poor regencies, the creativity to support cooperation with other institutions is important, but it is easy without participations of central government and/or donors. 41 Sustainability or continuity of contracting-out activities can be seen from three aspects namely permanent budget, the regional development and the agents involved. From the budget perspective, the experience in Cambodia, which had strong dependency to donors, budget availability and sustainability became huge problems. When donors stopped the funding, Cambodia Government found difficulties to continue contracting-out activities. It seems that richer country or regions had more potential to keep the sustainability of such activities. From the regional development aspect especially in remote regions, the contracting-out activities are less relevant if the regions will be developed in years to come. In a long-term plan, contracting-out opportunities are applied in remote regions. From the health department and service provider aspect, the health and medical workers might succeed in doing their work, but they tend not to renew the contract for the rest of their lives. From the perspective of agents involved such as health and medical workers, the anticipation of high turn over rate is common because it is hard to recruit permanent workers who want to work in remote areas for the rest of their lives. On of the big problems was little availability of contractor workers. Another serious problem is legal/law aspect that was unclear. So far there was no legal procedure that might regulate such a matter. The availability of contracting-out services is technically regulated through the given procedures. The Presidential Regulation (PP) No.50/2007 on Implementation Procedures of Local Cooperation though its operational regulations are being in the process of completion. The problem of outsourcing law or contracting-out system particularly the contractingout availability of health workers and health services is greater than that of the contract in company scope. In Government Regulation (PP) No. 41/2007 Article 14, the functions of regional/municipal health department are: 1. The formulation of technical policy based on job descriptions 2. The administration of governmental affairs and public services suitable with the job descriptions 3. Trainings and job implementations based on tasks/assignment scopes; and 4. Other jobs implementations offered by the regents/mayors akin to their functions. According to the policy, the public service is one of the functions of health department. In the scope of health department, one of the types of public services is health service. In its implementation, this function is not done by the health department itself, but it is delegated to the Integrated Service Unit (UPT) through the Community Health Center (Puskesmas). That is why health department is proactive in formulating technical policies and trainings. Referring back to the previous explanation, there are some legal problems that may happen: 1. The duty and its function relating to the availability of health and medical workers including the contracted ones is not part of health department’s function (it is usually undertaken by Regional Officialdom Board/BKD). 2. Is the contracting-out initiative through health department categorized as one of technical policy formulations function? 3. Is this matter against the Article 64 and 65 of the Decree (UU) No. 13/2003 concerning the labor system that becomes the basis of outsourcing implementation? The existing regulations are insufficient to regulate contracting-out health services as the main authority of health department. This is common because contracting-out system is 42 particularly used to manage health services in remote regions. There are some supporting regulations that can be considered fully: 1. Presidential Decree of Republic of Indonesia (Keppres RI) No. 80/2003 that has been amended seven times (finally through Presidential Decree No. 95/2007) 2. Decree on Labor No. 13/2003 3. The Decree of Labor and Transmigration Minister of Republic of Indonesia No. 101/2004 on Procedures of Licensing Service Provider Company for Employees/Laborers 4. The Regulations of Minister of Home Affairs (Permendagri) No. 61/2007 on Technical Guidelines for Financial Management of Regional Public Corporation as particularly regulated in Article 2 Paragraph 1 5. Governmental Regulations No. 50/2007 on Implementation Procedures of Regional Cooperation 6. The Regulations of Minister of Health No. 1199/2004 on Procedures on the Availability of Health Workers using Work Agreement in State-owned Health Infrastructures Although these innovations are still difficult to implement, contracting-out system could become one of the solutions in anticipating the lack of health and medical workers in remote regions. 43 Appendix 1 Number of hospitals and beds in Indonesia according to their ownership NO PROVINCE 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 NAD Sumatera Utara Sumatera Barat Riau Jambi Sumatera Selatan Bengkulu Lampung Bangka Belitung Kepulauan Riau DKI Jakarta Jawa Barat Jawa Tengah DIY Jawa Timur Banten Bali NTB NTT Kalimantan Barat Kalimantan Tengah Kalimantan Selatan Kalimantan Timur Sulawesi Utara Sulawesi Tengah Sulawesi Selatan Sulawesi Tenggara Gorontalo Sulawesi Barat Maluku Maluku Utara Papua Barat Papua INDONESIA STATE H 26 61 22 17 13 23 8 10 5 9 30 56 60 10 88 10 13 11 16 19 11 18 18 9 11 38 11 4 3 11 6 7 13 667 B 2,266 7,382 2,988 1,484 1,037 3,009 705 1,296 429 710 7,712 8,705 11,444 1,716 13,609 1,459 2,187 1,098 1,586 1,815 721 1,694 2,287 1,603 1,070 5,093 788 460 159 983 379 514 1,208 89,596 PRIVATE H B 7 68 19 8 4 9 1 11 2 6 91 80 114 25 78 16 20 2 9 9 8 10 11 8 19 4 1 7 2 4 653 320 4,986 970 615 248 1,058 106 967 186 575 9,017 7,415 8,987 2,091 6,494 1,075 1,013 117 559 954 496 905 1,157 379 1,572 122 50 526 122 206 53,288 44 TOTAL H 33 129 41 25 17 32 9 21 7 15 121 136 174 35 166 26 33 13 25 28 11 26 28 20 19 57 15 4 4 18 6 9 17 1,320 B 2,586 12,368 3,958 2,099 1,285 4,067 811 2,263 615 1,285 16,729 16,120 20,431 3,807 20,103 2,534 3,200 1,215 2,145 2,769 721 2,190 3,192 2,760 1,449 6,665 910 460 209 1,509 379 636 1,414 142,884 Appendix 2.
