Abstract

Background: The degree of Maternal and Child Health (MCH) is still a major problem in health development in Indonesia. One factor that may be an obstacle in solving this problem is the limited cost. In this context, planning and cost utilization are essential to improve so that they can produce a great impact for the improvement of MCH. Therefore, in-depth information about the MCH financing situation in regions as an input to develop efficient activities in improving MCH status is needed. Objective: To analyze health financing situation of MCH program in 2010 which sourced from government and to make policy recommendations related to the program in Sabu Raijua District, East Nusa Tenggara Province. The situation in question is availability, budget planning process, expenditure accuracy, and fund flow rate. Method: This was a descriptive research with a case study strategy. Result: The total cost of MCH program was IDR 450,787,500. It was not sufficient to provide basic health services for pregnant women from early pregnancy until postpartum period. The budget proportion from the central, provincial, and district governments amounted to 79.63%, 3.56%, and 16.78%, respectively. Cost allocation of the district budget was 0.80%. Planning activities of MCH program was from the district budget through the development planning meeting (Musrenbang). Proposed activities in Musrenbang were dominated by physical activities. The cost of MCH program was spent more on direct activities and operational cost in villages and sub districts. The implementation of the activities was not supported by facilities and adequate human resources. The MCH fund disbursement from the central government was conducted in October- November while from the provincial and district governments were in July to August. Conclusion: The government’s commitment was still low in financing MCH program as a priority program due to budget decentralization. Musrenbang activities had not demonstrated significant impacts on quality activities improvement and budget allocations from the district budget. Availability of personnel and health facilities greatly affected the performance of MCH program. Delays in funds disbursement disrupted the implementation of activities and provided opportunities for corruption. Therefore, the supervision function must be improved both internal and external.
