Indonesia has seen an emergence of local health care financing schemes over the last decade, implemented and operated by district governments. Often motivated by the local political context and characterized by a large degree of heterogeneity in scope and design, the common objective of the district schemes is to address the coverage gaps for the informal sector left by national social health insurance programs.
This study collected opinions from leaders at the national level supported by two subnational case studies to better reflect urban and rural conditions. Data and information at the national level were gathered through in-depth interviews with potential informants; data in the urban and rural case study areas was collected through in-depth interviews and FGDs.
The study uncovered that the initial stages of PKKPM implementation went smoothly (from March- May 2015), including central-regional socialization, training of facilitators, and the formation of collectives.
