Resource Description:

As countries move toward universal health coverage (UHC), they are faced with the ongoing challenge of generating sufficient resources to provide access to necessary health services with financial protection and ensuring total expenditures are fiscally sustainable. Indonesia’s national health insurance system, Jaminan Kesehatan Nasional (JKN) was launched in 2014 and already encountered deficits in 2016.

The purpose of this JLN Learning Exchange on Strategic Health Purchasing in Decentralized Contexts report is to provide Indonesia with access to experience from peer countries through a facilitated ½-day learning exchange meeting. The report shares country to experience on the implementation challenges, practical solutions, and other learnings from experience building effective models of strategic health purchasing and financial risk-sharing in decentralized contexts
