In Indonesia, SP4PHC is working with Ministry of Health (MOH) since the late 2022 on supporting the MOH’s Health Transformation agenda, and specifically focusing on reforms around improving PHC, health financing, and digital health across Indonesia. SP4PHC Indonesia is implementing three strategies, which aim to improve how JKN purchases PHC services, optimize flow of funds via districts to PHC providers, and foster integration of telemedicine into purchasing arrangements for PHC services.

SP4PHC has been tasked as a coordinator of MOH-lead PHC consortium at 4 selected districts. The PHC consortium aims to set up a catalytic learning platform where key national and subnational government, universities, and external stakeholders can work together to diagnose and improve purchasing at PHC level within the context of integrated primary care service. Activities under the Consortium will include fund flow tracking, health performance assessment, and capacity building.

To support these strategies, several activities related to the health system, financing, and policy will be carried out. The SA will be a core technical member of the SP4PHC Indonesia team and will report to a Director. This is a full-time position based in Jakarta, Indonesia (Indonesian nationals only).
