Abstract
Indonesia launched Jampersal in 2011, a
nationwide program to accelerate the reduction of maternal
and newborn deaths. The program was financed by central
government revenues and provided free and comprehensive
maternal and neonatal care with an emphasis on promoting
institutional deliveries. Jampersal providers were public
and enlisted private facilities at the primary and secondary
levels. In 2013, the World Bank and the Center for Family
Welfare, University of Indonesia conducted a qualitative and
quantitative study to assess the implementation and impact
of the program in Garut District and Depok Municipality in
West Java Province. The study found that Jampersal
utilization was highest among women who were least educated,
poor, and resided in rural areas. Utilization was also high
among women with delivery complications. The study showed
Jampersal only had an impact where institutional delivery
coverage was still low such as in Garut District. In this
district, women were 2.4 times more likely to have
institutional deliveries after Jampersal. The finding
suggests implementation of Jampersal policy may have to be
adjusted according to the utilization pattern for efficiency
and effectiveness. The government discontinued Jampersal
with the launching of the National Health Insurance Program
(JKN) on January 1, 2014. The study s findings indicate the
merit in reevaluating the policy to terminate the program,
given that Jampersal helped increase institutional
deliveries while voluntary participation in JKN remains low.
