IDXChannel - The Asian Development Bank (ADB) has approved a USD350 million loan to support the Indonesian Ministry of Health in implementing a nationwide primary care transformation that will increase access to quality, gender, and climate-responsive primary care services.
The Supporting Essential Health Actions and Transformation (SEHAT) Program results-based loan is designed to strengthen, integrate, and standardize the life-cycle primary care delivery model in puskesmas (community health centers) and posyandu (integrated service posts) across Indonesia.
SEHAT will be supported by a USD2 million technical assistance grant from the Japan Fund for Prosperous and Resilient Asia and the Pacific.
“ADB is pleased to partner with the Government of Indonesia in transforming its primary health care program for a healthier, stronger, and more resilient society,” said ADB Country Director for Indonesia Jiro Tominaga in a media release on Monday (20/11/2023).
“This program is fully aligned with the government’s midterm national development plan and supports the implementation of Indonesia’s post-pandemic Health System Transformation Agenda, which is critical to strengthening the country’s health system and responding to future pandemics and climate change.”
