2. Background

Disease Accounts is an analysis of the distribution of health expenditure by diseases that is part of the National Health Accounts (NHA). Analysis of health expenditure by diseases can monitor and inform the allocation of resources by diseases in populations or priority areas. The analysis can provide an overview of health expenditure based on 1) diseases with the largest visits and health costs, 2) JKN participant registration and service areas, and 3) functions and service levels.

Currently, Indonesia is facing a triple burden disease of various disease problems, namely the existence of new emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases, such as COVID-19; infectious diseases that have not been resolved properly; and non-communicable diseases (NCDs) which tend to increase every year. As a result, it can be seen that Indonesia's health expenditure continues to increase and is still focusing on curative efforts. The increase in cases of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) will significantly increase the burden on the government and the community because handling them takes a long time and requires large costs.

Disease Accounts production has used the JKN data since 2015 and continued to be updated, both data and methodology. With the JKN coverage of more than 90 percent, Disease Accounts are very representative of getting a picture of health services based on the type of disease. Disease accounts in NHA are expected to be produced annually on an ongoing basis so that they can provide benefits that can be used as input for improving health service policies.
