 Introduction

Health is one of basic human rights (WHO,1948)

Health is the state of physical, mental, and social
well-being and not merely the absence of disease
or infirmity (WHO, 1946)
Health is the state of physical, mental, and social
well-being that enables individual to have a
productive life socially and economically
(Indonesian Law no. 23, 1992)
 Overall goals for health systems:

Improving health and reducing health inequalities

Enhancing responsiveness to the legitimate
expectations of the population
Assuring fairness of financial contributions.

 Universal functions of a health system:
1. Delivering services (provision)
2. Creating resources (investment and training)
3. Financing (collecting, pooling and purchasing)
4. Stewardship (oversight).

 ... give up your focus on curative care, don't spend
money on expensive hospitals (you don't need
them if you have enough prevention...) , stop
looking after the rich urban dwellers (even if they
are politicians), invest in prevention, promotion,
community participation... its definitely much
better! Reform! Remove the imperfections in your
health systems - embrace primary health care.

 health care resources are scarce in the
developing world, and that demand will always
exceed the supply therefore, Governments have
to make choices about how they allocate these
resources to the ever-increasing demands that
are placed upon them. A significant obstacle in
the road to Health for All was identified -
someone has to pay for it, and to do so they
have to take money away from something else.
A difficult dilemma for any government

 1. Fundamental Importance

Healthcare is of fundamental moral importance

because it protects our opportunities to pursue goals,
reduces our pain and suffering, prevents premature
loss of life, and gives us the information we need to
plan our lives.

Dr Shahram Yazdani
11
 2. Universal Access

Everyone must have access to healthcare services

without financial or other barriers.

Dr Shahram Yazdani
12
 3. Comprehensive Benefits

The healthcare system should meet the full range

of healthcare needs. Ideally, the program should
cover primary, preventive, chronic, and long-term
care, as well as acute, home, and hospital care and
treatment for mental and physical illness.
Obviously, not every possible service can be
provided, but when there must be limitations, they
should be placed on the least important benefits
relative to their costs.

Dr Shahram Yazdani
13
 4. Equal Benefits

Healthcare services should only reflect differences in

healthcare needs and not other individual or group
differences. The drafters of the reform plan were
emphatically opposed to a two-tier healthcare system
and clearly indicated that whereas in other realms of
societal endeavor two tiers might be acceptable,
healthcare is too important to basic human
functioning.

Dr Shahram Yazdani
14
 5. Fair Burdens

The costs and burdens of meeting healthcare needs

should be spread across society by a progressive tax,
with payments scaled according to ability to pay.

Dr Shahram Yazdani
15
 6. Generational Solidarity

The system should respond to needs at each stage of

life, with benefits and burdens fairly shared across
generations.

Dr Shahram Yazdani
16
 7. Wise Allocation

Society must wisely balance what it spends on health

with other priorities such as education, housing, and
defense. It will therefore have to set limits on the
amount to be spent on healthcare, as well as
prudently allocate resources within the healthcare
budget itself. Unfortunately, in too many countries
military expenditures often greatly exceed those on
health.

Dr Shahram Yazdani
17
 8. Effective Treatment

Since funds will always be limited, it is a medical as

well as ethical responsibility to spend only on
services whose effectiveness has been proven
(evidence-based medicine) and to avoid spending on
ineffective or doubtful services, whether diagnostic
or therapeutic. This clause also mandates spending
on research, particularly outcomes research.

Dr Shahram Yazdani
18
 9. Quality Care

This clause mandates creation of systems of quality

assurance in all aspects of the system.

Dr Shahram Yazdani
19
 10. Efficient Management

The system should be simply organized and easy for

patients and professionals to use and should
minimize administrative costs.

Dr Shahram Yazdani
20
 11. Individual Choice

In the true spirit of American individualism, the

authors of the reform plan proposed that the
healthcare system permit maximum freedom of
choice among providers, plans, and treatments.
Other Western countries have traditionally placed
lesser emphasis on such freedom of choice. In the
U.S., managed care plans are increasingly
restricting options, precipitating considerable
displeasure among patients as well as among
physicians.

Dr Shahram Yazdani
21
 12. Personal Responsibility

The healthcare system should help citizens take

responsibility for protecting and promoting their
own health and that of their families. This is meant
to include the provision for education, counseling,
and treatment to encourage healthy behavior
patterns.

Dr Shahram Yazdani
22
 13. Professional Integrity

The system must respect the clinical judgment of

health professionals and protect the professional-
patient relationship while ensuring that the
professionals fulfill their responsibilities to their
patients.

23
 14. Fair Procedures

To protect these principles and values, fair and open

democratic procedures should exist for making
decisions and resolving disputes.

24
 Decentralization

The term decentralization has been used to connote a

variety of reforms characterized by the transfer of fiscal,
administrative, and/or political authority for planning,
management, or service delivery from the central MOH
to alternate institutions. These recipient institutions may
be regional or local offices of the same ministry,
provincial or municipal governments, autonomous
public service agencies, or private sector organizations.

Dr Shahram Yazdani
25
 Improvement in health sector performance
through decentralization
1. Improved allocative efficiency through permitting the
mix of services and expenditures to be shaped by local
user preferences;
2. Improved production efficiency through greater cost
consciousness at the local level;
3. Service delivery innovation through experimentation
and adaptation to local conditions;
4. Improved quality, transparency, accountability, and
legitimacy owing to user oversight and participation in
decision making; and
5. Greater equity through distribution of resources
toward traditionally marginal regions and groups.
