Abstract

Background: Natural disasters influence human health and prosperity. The increasing tendency for natural disaster has become a priority in the disaster management in Indonesia. Gunung Merapi erupted on October 26, 2010. The eruption continued until November 2010. The disaster led to huge life tolls and injuries. It also caused substantial and extensive damages and losses in four main regions, Sleman Regency in the Province of DI Yogyakarta, Magelang, Klaten, and Boyolali Regencies in the Province of Central Java. The data issued on December 13, 2010 reported 388 life tolls, 2.786 inpatient injuries, 62.923 outpatients injuries, and up to 21.338 refugees. To anticipate the spread of negative effects on the victim health due to Gunung Merapi eruption, the Provincial Health Office of DIY and Central Java had cross-provincial coordination, organization, communication, and leadership. Method: A qualitative research was conducted using case study design. Subjects of the study were informants who played important roles in the coordinative process in the Province of DI Yogyakarta and Central Java. The data were collected by means of document investigation, direct observation, and in-depth interviews. Data validity was checked by means of source, method, and data triangulation. Results: To realize an effective and efficient healthcare during the emergency response period after Gunung Merapi eruption, an integrated command organization was established to involve the two provinces – DI Yogyakarta and Central Java. The organization had daily coordination meetings by means of direct communication in terms of meetings and indirect communication using teleconference. Information could be received and transmitted quickly by means of sms gateway and email. Leadership applied during the emergency response period was command in nature, rather than authoritarian style. Conclusion: Cross-provincial healthcare coordination during the emergency response period after Gunung Merapi eruption in 2010 worked in a sufficiently effective way, since no extraordinary cases occurred at that time.
