The purpose of this study was to determine the implementation of the Healthy Indonesia Program with a Family Approach which is indispensable as a determinant of the success of the Bandung Regency Government's performance in the health sector. The Healthy Indonesia Program with a Family Approach is a priority program of the Ministry of Health which is implemented by the Center for Community Health. The implementation of the Healthy Indonesia Program with a Family Approach in Bandung Regency was only carried out in 2017 with program socialization activities at the Health Office and Community Health Center levels. The research method used is descriptive qualitative with the approach of Donald van Meter and Carl van Horn's policy implementation model. The findings from the implementation of the Healthy Indonesia Program with a Family Approach in Bandung Regency have been implemented but have not yet reached the target of total coverage. The Bandung Regency Healthy Family Index is included in the unhealthy assessment (<0.8). So that the success of implementation will be achieved when making improvements from deficiencies, both in terms of standards and policy targets or policy measures and objectives, resources, characteristics of the implementing organization, attitudes of the implementers, communication between organizations and implementing activities, and the social, economic and political environment. Suggestions from this study are to improve the empowerment of family roles and community potential with training methods for community cadres, continue the enumerator recruitment program to assist with home visits and data collection and data input, advocate for budget allocations sourced from regional revenue and expenditure budgets.

Achieving ambitious health goals—from the Every Woman Every Child strategy to the health targets of the sustainable development goals to the renewed promise of Alma-Ata of ‘health for all’—necessitates strong, functional and inclusive health systems. Improving and sustaining community health is integral to overall health systems strengthening efforts. However, while health systems and community health are conceptually and operationally related, the guidance informing health systems policymakers and financiers—particularly the well-known WHO ‘building blocks’ framework—only indirectly addresses the foundational elements necessary for effective community health. Although community-inclusive and community-led strategies may be more difficult, complex, and require more widespread resources than facility-based strategies, their exclusion from health systems frameworks leads to insufficient attention to elements that need ex-ante efforts and investments to set community health effectively within systems. This paper suggests an expansion of the WHO building blocks, starting with the recognition of the essential determinants of the production of health. It presents an expanded framework that articulates the need for dedicated human resources and quality services at the community level; it places strategies for organising and mobilising social resources in communities in the context of systems for health; it situates health information as one ingredient of a larger block dedicated to information, learning and accountability; and it recognises societal partnerships as critical links to the public health sector. This framework makes explicit the oft-neglected investment needs for community health and aims to inform efforts to situate community health within national health systems and global guidance to achieve health for all.
