INTEGRATED TRADITIONAL HEALTH SERVICE DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY IN COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTER IN DENPASAR BALI

Abstract [English]

Traditional Health Services (Yankestrad) is a development program that is a priority of the Indonesian government, and its existence is of sufficient interest to the public so that it needs to be developed to improve public health. Yankestrad can be combined with conventional health services to be implemented in an integrated manner in hospitals and in health centers. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the Yankestrad program in Denpasar Bali and develop strategies for the development of the Yankestrad Integration program at community health centers (Puskesmas) in Denpasar Bali. The method used in this research is descriptive qualitative using SWOT analysis. The results showed that the implementation of the Yankestrad Integration program in Denpasar City was categorized as sufficient. The dominant internal factor being the strength is that the vision and mission of the Yankestrad program has been stated in the strategic plan and trained and certified health workers, while the weakness is that the officers hold multiple programs so that they do not focus on providing services. The external factor, the biggest opportunity is community empowerment through independent care groups with the use of family medicinal plants (TOGA), and the biggest threat is that the community still tends to curative rather than preventive efforts and the community still sees Yankestrad as magical / mystical. Yankestrad Integration development strategy can be carried out by supporting an aggressive growth policy or a Streng Opportunity strategy, namely by taking advantage of opportunities to use their strengths for the sustainability of the program.
