The Indonesian government has been implementing the National Health Insurance ( Jaminan Kesehatan Nasional [JKN]) policy since 2014. This study aimed to evaluate JKN based on equity indicators, especially in skilled birth attendants (SBAs) use. The data were obtained from National Socio-Economic Survey of Indonesia during 2012 to 2016. To analyze the data, χ2 and logistic regression tests were applied. The respondents were married mothers from 15 to 49 years who had delivered a baby. Deliveries by SBAs increased at the national level, but this achievement showed significant variation according to geographical location. The coverage of deliveries by SBAs in the eastern areas of Indonesia was still much lower than those in the western areas. All factors determining SBAs utilization (health insurance ownership, education, household economic status, and geography factor) indicated the positive correlation ( P < .05). The inequity of SBA use in differences in geographical location and socioeconomic status continues to occur after the implementation of JKN.

Abstract Background The Indonesian government has been implementing the National Health Insurance Policy (Jaminan Kesehatan Nasional-JKN) since 2014. The utilization of family planning service is one of the programs to increase maternal and child health status that is included in the benefit package in JKN. This study aimed to describe determinants and to evaluate JKN based on equity indicators, especially in family planning services. Methods Data were obtained from the 2012-2016 National Socio-Economic Survey (SUSENAS) of Indonesia. Contraceptive Prevalence Rate (CPR) and Long-acting contraceptives (LACs) use were used as indicators to evaluate family planning utilization. Chi-square and logistic regression tests were used to analyze the data. Respondents were married women between 15 and 49 years of age. Results There was no progress in CPR after the implementation of JKN. At the national level, CPR decreased within five years (2012-2016). Decreasing in urban areas and in the group that does not have health insurance were more than in rural areas and in the group that has health insurance. Utilization of non-LACs, especially injection (56%-57%) and pill (21%-24%), were still high within 2012-2016. At the national level, LACs use increased 3.18% between 2012-2016 (15.54%-18.72%). Increasing in urban areas and in the group that has subsidized health insurance were more than in rural areas and in the group that does not have subsidized. Health insurance ownership, the geography factor, education, household economic correlated with contraceptive use (p<0.05) in 2015 and 2016, but this correlation was inversely proportional. Conversely, all of the determinants were positively associated with LACs use (p<0.05). Conclusions Up to 2016, the JKN program did not increase CPR. Conversely, the JKN program obtained only small increases in LACs use. LACs use in rural areas is less than in urban areas. JKN program can increase LACs use in the group that has subsidized health insurance. CPR and LACs coverage could be increased by health system improvement and the social approaches, specifically through improving supply-side and regulations, increasing coordination among multiple agencies in the family planning program, and promoting family planning based on values and norms in the society.

Increasing in urban areas and in the group that has subsidized health insurance were more than in rural areas and in the group that does not have subsidized. In 2016, the geography factor (rural-urban) and household economic status associated negatively with the use of overall contraceptive method (p<0.05). Conversely, all the determinants were positively associated with LACs use (p<0.05). Conclusions: Up to 2016, the JKN program did not increase CPR. Conversely, the JKN program obtained only small increases in LACs use. LACs use in rural areas is less than in urban areas.

This article aims to examine the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) policy from the perspective of local communities. Qualitative data from 9 key informant interviews and 72 community respondents in 9 focus group discussions were analyzed using a thematic network approach. The focus-group discussions took place in seven different communities in seven regions of Ghana. The findings noted a disconnection between NHIS policy and community life. More so, the findings showed an explicit link between equity and access with its impacts on health outcomes. The qualitative results indicated lack of voice and understanding as the features limiting people from accessing the NHIS facilities. Understanding of equity as a key theme revealed, first, lack of stakeholder engagement and consultation or participation in the NHIS decision-making process. Second, it was established that while the policy indicated a will to include all the core poor for an equitable NHIS, there is lack of willingness to implement this aim fully. Finally, despite being a pro-poor intervention by name, practical management of the NHIS is transmitted down vertical silos from the national level, with the lack of joined-up government at the center undermining local partnerships. Thus, not only are national expectations being dashed locally, local expectations are dashed nationally. This article proposes that community viewpoints should be given higher priority given that NHIS has since its inception been associated with medical treatments and biomedical paradigm. Promoting community participation, understanding, and voices should be recognized to shape the future NHIS policy and practice.

This optimism was reconsidered after seeing the results of 2012 which experienced a significant increase of 359 per 100,000 births. Births in Muara Rapak Village area in 2016 were 598 live births and 2 born deads. A total of 597 births were helped in health facilities and 3 births were assisted by Traditional Birth Attendants / at home. The purpose of this study was to analyze the relationship of family income, birth costs, access to information, participation in National Health Insurance, with the selection of places of birth in Muara Rapak Village, Balikpapan Town. This study used a cross sectional design. The data collection technique was accidental sampling with a sample of 92 mothers who brought infants to visit the Muara Rapak Health Center, from October to November 2018. Data analysis techniques used bivariate data analysis with Chi Square test, p_value> α (0.05) concluded there was no relationship between variables. There were 79.3% of respondents choosing the place of birth at the hospital, 10.9% of respondents choosing the place of birth the maternity clinic, 6.5% choosing the place of birth at the Independent Practice Midwife, and 3.3% of respondents choosing the place of birth by Traditional Birth Attendants / at home. The results of statistical tests, for family income variables the value of p = 0.967, for birth of costs the value of p = 0.496, for access to information the value of p = 0.867, which means the value of p> 0.05, and for participation in National Health Insurance the value of p = 0.001 < 0.05. There is no relationship between family income, birth of costs, access to information, with the choice of place of birth. But between the participation of the National Health Insurance and the choice of place of birth, there is a relationship. Keywords: Income, costs, access to information, NHI, place of birth Abstract Hingga akhir tahun 2015, Indonesia berpeluang gagal mencapai sasaran–sasaran MDGs.Target MDG’s untuk Angka Kematian Ibu tahun 2015 adalah sebesar 102 per 100.000 Kelahiran Hidup. Optimisme tersebut menjadi pertimbangan kembali setelah melihat hasil tahun 2012 yang mengalami kenaikan signifikan yaitu sebesar 359 per 100.000 Kelahiran Hidup. Kelahiran di wilayah Kelurahan Muara Rapak pada tahun 2016 sebanyak 598 lahir hidup dan 2 lahir mati. Sebanyak 597 kelahiran ditolong di fasilitas kesehatan dan 3 kelahiran ditolong oleh dukun beranak / di rumah.
