1. Introduction
Human life in the 21st century has many health risks and challenges. In Indonesia,
one of the most common health challenges is non-communicable diseases (NCDs) (1,2). This
occurs due to several factors, ranging from diet, parenting, human movement patterns to the
lack of education and health counseling (3,4). In its statement, the Ministry of Health
emphasized that non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are preventable diseases (5).
Recognizing the risk factors and changing a healthy lifestyle by CERDIK (Periodic Health
Checks) are some powerful ways to reduce public health risks and challenges (6).
In the world of health, the term health index is a measurement of the general level of
human health in a particular region. There are two groups of indicators for assessing health
indicators, namely indicators that count the number of deaths that occur during a certain
period with their causes (7,8). There are also health indicators that measure the level of
disability or morbidity in the community. The Bandung City Health Index has increased from
year to year, this can be seen in the 2010 Bandung City Health Index of 82.64 to 84.23 in
https://journal.scitechgrup.com/index.php/ajer

2022 (9). In the period 2010 to 2022, the Bandung City Health Index increased by 1.59 points
with an average growth of 0.13 points / year. Below is a graph illustrating the development of
the Health Index in Bandung City in the last twelve years (10).
In its implementation, access to health is provided by the government with the
provision of Health Service Facilities in each region and region (11). This is to meet Public
Health standards. Of course, with the help of several bodies or agencies, both private and
government, one of which is the Health Office. The Bandung City Health Office has an
important role in providing guidance and supervision of all health service facilities in the city
of Bandung, be it hospitals, health centers, clinics, laboratories and other health agencies
(12,13).
According to WHO (World Health Organization), the definition of a hospital is an
integral part of a social and health organization with the function of providing comprehensive
services, curing diseases (curative) and preventing diseases (preventive) to the community
(14,15). Hospitals are also training centers for health workers and medical research centers.
Based on Law No. 44 of 2009 concerning hospitals, hospitals are health service institutions
that organize comprehensive individual health services that provide inpatient, outpatient, and
emergency services (16). Meanwhile, according to the function, based on the Law of the
Republic of Indonesia No. 44 of 2009 concerning Hospitals, hospitals have the task of
providing comprehensive individual health services (17).
According to Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 17 of 2023 concerning
Health. Explained in article 11, which is related to the Central Government and Regional
Governments are responsible for the availability and access to Health Services and article 12
which is related to the Central Government and Regional Governments are responsible for:
a. Regulation, guidance, supervision and improvement of the quality and competence of
Medical and Health Workers
b. Planning, procurement and utilization of medical and health personnel in accordance
with the needs of the community and the region based on the provisions of laws and
regulations.
c. Welfare of Medical and Health Workers, and
d. Protection of patients and health human resources
According to Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 17 Year 2023 Article 1
explains several definitions, namely:
a. Health Services are all forms of activities and / or a series of service activities provided
directly to individuals or the Community to maintain and improve the degree of Public
Health in the form of promotive, preventive, curative, rehabilitative, and / or palliative.
b. Health Human Resources is a person who works actively in the field of Health, both
those who have formal Health Education or not, which for certain types requires
authority in carrying out Health Efforts.
c. Health Service Facilities are places and/or tools used to organize Health services to
individuals or the Community with a promotive, preventive, curative, rehabilitative,
and/or palliative approach carried out by the Central Government, Regional
Governments, and/or the Community.
d. Community Health Center, hereinafter referred to as Puskesmas, is a first-level health
service facility that organizes and coordinates promotive, preventive, curative,
rehabilitative, and / or palliative health services by prioritizing promotive and
preventive in its working area.

e. Hospital is a health service facility that organizes individual health services in full
through promotive, preventive, curative, rehabilitative, and/or palliative health services
by providing inpatient, outpatient, and emergency services.
According to the Regulation of the Minister of Health of the Republic of Indonesia
Number 14 of 2021 concerning Business Activity Standards and Products in the
Implementation of Risk-Based Business Licensing in the Health Sector, it is explained in
article 3 which states that when this Ministerial Regulation comes into force, Ministerial
Regulations governing business activity standards and product standards in the
implementation of health sector business licensing are declared to still apply as long as they
do not conflict with this Ministerial Regulation (18).
The implementation of guidance and supervision of hospitals in the city of Bandung is
to improve the quality of services provided by hospitals to the community. This is important
because the Bandung City Health Office has a central role in providing guidance and
supervision of hospitals in its area. Therefore, researchers conducted research on the results
of the guidance and supervision of hospitals carried out by the Bandung City Health Office.
2. Methods
The implementation of the activity was carried out using qualitative methods and
descriptive approaches. The research subjects were the participants of the coaching and
supervision activities of 43 hospitals, all of whom were directors of hospitals in the city of
Bandung. The object of research is the analysis of the results of coaching and supervision of
Bandung city hospitals on the needs of health service facilities. The data collection technique
used by researchers is Focus Group Discussion (FGD). FGD is a commonly used approach to
collect qualitative data/information. This data collection is based on the results of an
interaction of informants or respondents in a group that focuses on discussing in solving
certain problems (1921).
This hospital coaching and supervision was held once on March 5, 2024 at 08.30 -
finish. The implementation began with the provision of material by resource persons from the
Ministry of Health regarding the Medical Device Facilities and Infrastructure Application
(ASPAK): Permenkes No.31 of 2018. The second resource person from Halmahera Siaga
Hospital Optimizing ASPAK at Halmahera Siaga Surgical Special Hospital regarding data
collection services. Then the third resource person from Al Faiha Medika Main Clinic
regarding the data coordinator and inventory of health facilities in the hospital.
3. Results and Discussion
Hospital coaching is carried out by the Bandung City Health Office with the aim of
improving the quality of services provided by hospitals to the community. One of the efforts
made is through assistance in implementing a good hospital management system. In this case,
the Bandung City Health Office provides technical guidance to hospitals in managing
hospital management effectively and efficiently. In addition, the Bandung City Health Office
also evaluates the quality of services provided by hospitals. This evaluation is carried out
routinely using predetermined standards. The results of this evaluation are then used as a
basis for providing recommendations for improvement to the hospital. Throughout 2024, the
Bandung City Health Office has evaluated all hospitals in the city and provided
recommendations for improvement.

Another effort made by the Bandung City Health Office in carrying out its
responsibilities is to supervise hospitals in the city. This supervision is carried out to ensure
that hospitals comply with all regulations and standards set in providing health services. One
of the supervision efforts carried out is by conducting routine inspections of hospitals. In
addition, the Bandung City Health Office also supervises the quality of services provided by
hospitals.
One of them is health facilities. Health facilities are an important part of efforts to
improve the quality of health in Indonesia. It includes inventorying and mapping of facilities/
infrastructure, as well as medical devices. This guidance and supervision is a tangible form of
the Bandung city government's efforts to improve health facilities. The implementation of
supervision and guidance is carried out twice a year. In 2022 alone, Bandung city has 43
health facilities in the form of hospitals. In terms of service type, there are 29 private
hospitals, 4 owned by the Ministry of Health, 3 owned by the City Government, 1 owned by
TNI-AD, 1 owned by TNI-AU, 1 owned by POLRI, and 4 others.
As in previous years, this year the city of Bandung again carried out supervision and
guidance of hospitals (22). Coaching and supervision are also carried out thoroughly by
conducting a meeting of all hospital directors in Bandung City. The meeting was held at El
Royal Hotel in Bandung City and attended by 43 directors from each hospital.
Presentation of material from the first resource person by the Ministry of Health
regarding the Medical Device Facilities and Infrastructure Application (ASPAK): Permenkes
No.31 of 2018: ASPAK is a web-based electronic system that collects data and presents
information about Infrastructure Facilities and Medical Devices at Health Service Facilities.
ASPAK can present or sing information on the availability and fulfillment of infrastructure
facilities and medical devices in health facilities according to applicable standards. The
Health Facilities and Equipment Infrastructure application has information about Health
Facility Identity Data, Facilities Data, Infrastructure Data, Medical Device Data, and other
data related to Health services. However, in its use, many officers have not been able to apply
it optimally. So that in the implementation of FGDs carried out together, the results of these
problems were obtained, namely updating and validating the Medical Device Facilities and
Infrastructure Application. In addition, participants who came to the implementation of
hospital supervision and guidance were given more insight into its use so that it was hoped
that education on the use of ASPAK could be disseminated to other hospital officers.

The next presentation was conducted by the second resource person, Halmahera Siaga
Hospital and Al Faiha Medika Main Clinic regarding Optimization of Medical Device
Facilities and Infrastructure Applications. Updates and validations need to be done
continuously but in the process we need to continue to utilize the application facilities that are
available by optimizing. Data input for facilities and infrastructure needs activation. Where
the resource person is given an example of data input as in Table 2 below.

This optimization effort is balanced by determining the end time of the required data
input. The required data such as making work patterns more organized, more effective work,
and meeting targets. In addition to optimizing ASPAK, the Health Office's guidance and
supervision of hospitals in the city of Bandung also includes discussion of other facilities
such as facilities and infrastructure in hospitals. Throughout 2024, the number of bed
facilities from 41 hospitals in the city of Bandung is 750. With 250 class A hospital beds, 200
class B hospital beds, 100 class C hospital beds, 50 class D hospital beds. In the special
hospital classification as stated in article 2 paragraph (2) consists of class A special hospitals
totaling 75 beds, class B special hospitals totaling 50 beds, and class C special hospitals
totaling 25 beds. This number of facilities certainly has the possibility of continuing to grow
until the end of 2024.
Compared to the results of hospital facilities and infrastructure from 2023. The
number of existing hospital units remains the same at 43. However, the average number of
facilities, infrastructure, and medical devices covering 43 hospitals is increasing. Where in
2023, the average number of facilities in 43 hospitals is 61.7 while 78.6. So there is an
increase in the average value of hospital facilities in the city of Bandung from 2023 to 2024
this May by 16.93%. In addition, the infrastructure in hospitals from 2023 to 2024 has also
increased. In 2023 itself, the average number of hospital infrastructure in Bandung city was
67.5 then increased to 80.9 in May 2024. So that there was an increase in the percentage of
hospital infrastructure in Bandung from 2023 to May 2024 by 13.4%. Furthermore, medical
devices, the increase that occurred in the results of the completeness of medical devices in
Bandung city hospitals from 2023 was 12.1%. This can be seen from the results of the
average number of medical devices in 2023 Bandung city hospitals amounted to 53.8 and in
2024 until this May amounted to 65.9.
https://journal.scitechgrup.com/index.php/ajer
47
Judging from the increase in the average percentage of facilities, both facilities,
infrastructure, and medical devices for Bandung city hospitals from 2023 to May 2024. Then
it can be ascertained that the implementation of guidance and supervision of Bandung city
hospitals by the Ministry of Health is successful. This is evidenced by the increasing number
of facilities provided by the hospital and it is one of the outputs of holding these activities.
Conclusions
The results of the analysis of the guidance and supervision of the Hospital by the
Ministry of Health of Bandung City are i) percentage increase in Bandung city hospital
facilities in 2023 to May 2024 by 16.9%, ii) percentage increase in Bandung city hospital
infrastructure in 2023 to May 2024 by 13.4%, iii) percentage increase in medical equipment
for Bandung city hospitals in 2023 to May 2024 by 12.1%. Judging from this increase, the
implementation of guidance and supervision activities for Bandung city hospitals succeeded
in being an activity that improved its hospital facilities over a period of less than one year
from 2023 to May 2024.

Introduction: The Elderly people’s prosperity as mentioned in Indonesia’s Law No. 13 1998 article 1 verse (2) is those who are 60 years old or more. In this level, it happens the decrease process of relations among people, income and basic needs. Therefore, they require support from various parties in order to remain capable and adaptable so that they can live properly. To do that, integrated service posts (Posyandu) managed by community and governments indeed have an important role in improving elderly people’s health. Methods: This research aims especially to explore problems of giving services of health for the elderly in Posyandu and apply some efforts to solve the problem. Qualitative descriptive research design is the type of this research to explore more about sociological law which legal materials used are primary, secondary and tertiary legislation. Results: of this study shows giving health services to elderly people held at Posyandu such as only measurements of weight, height and abdominal circumference due to the limited competence of cadres and health workers. Meanwhile those elderly have not got empowerment in their Posyandu service activities. Conclusions: it is recommended to take cross-sectoral collaboration for health care and empowerment of the elderly in the context of legal certainty, as well as, Ners as the ones who are in charge of the elderly program at the community health center.

The WHO Regional Office for Africa (AFRO) COVID-19 Incident Management Support Team (IMST) was first established on 21 January 2020 to coordinate the response to the pandemic in line with the Emergency Response Framework and has undergone three modifications based on intra-action reviews (IAR). An IAR of the WHO AFRO COVID-19 IMST was conducted to document best practices, challenges, lessons learnt and areas for improvement from the start of 2021 to the end of the third wave in November 2021. In addition, it was designed to contribute to improving the response to COVID-19 in the Region. An IAR design as proposed by WHO, encompassing qualitative approaches to collecting critical data and information, was used. It employed mixed methods of data collection: document reviews, online surveys, focus group discussions and key informant interviews. A thematic analysis of the data focused on four thematic areas, namely operations of IMST, data and information management, human resource management and institutional framework/governance. Areas of good practice identified, included the provision of guidelines, protocols and technical expertise, resource mobilisation, logistics management, provision of regular updates, timely situation reporting, timely deployment and good coordination. Some challenges identified included a communication gap; inadequate emergency personnel; lack of scientific updates; and inadequate coordination with partners. The identified strong points/components are the pivot for informed decisions and actions for reinvigorating the future response coordination mechanism.

In order to better understand the implications of physical activity and nutrition in child development, we conducted the present narrative with the aim to analyze the physical activity and nutritional patterns related to maturation and development. To reach our study objective, a consensus and critical review were conducted by analyzing primary sources such as academic research and secondary sources such as databases, web pages, and bibliographic indexes following procedures of previous critical narrative reviews. We employed the MedLine (Pubmed), Cochrane (Wiley), PsychINFO, Embase, and CinAhl databases to search the MeSH-compliant keywords of exercise, physical activity, nutrition, maturation, development, child, neonatal, infantry, and cognitive development. We used manuscripts published from 1 January 2012 to 1 September 2022, although previous studies were included to explain some information in several points of the review. We found that physical activity and nutrition are basic pillars for the correct development and maturation of the child. Factors associated with development as a species such as breastfeeding, the correct intake of micro and macronutrients, and the performance of both passive and active physical activity will modulate the correct motor and cognitive development in preschool age, childhood, and adolescence.

Purpose Indonesia is facing an increasing occurrence of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) every year. We assessed the modifiable, non-modifiable, and physiological risk factors of NCDs among the Indonesian population. Methods Secondary data was analyzed from the 2018 Indonesian basic health research (RISKESDAS). The national survey included participants aged 15–54 years and obtained 514,351 responses. Linear systematic two-stage sampling was conducted by RISKESDAS. Furthermore, chi-square and binary logistic regression were utilized to explore the determinant of NCDs with a significance level of 95%. Results We found that almost 10% respondents in Indonesia had NCDs. We observed that depression has a higher odd (aOR: 2.343; 95% CI: 2.235–2.456) contributed to NCDs and followed other factors such as no education (aOR: 1.049; 95% CI: 1.007–1.092), passive smoking (aOR: 0.910; 95% CI: 0.878–0.942), fatty food (aOR: 1.050; 95% CI: 1.029–1.073), burnt food (aOR: 1.033; 95% CI: 1.005–1.062), food with preservatives (aOR: 1.038; 95% CI: 1.002–1.075), seasoned food (aOR: 1.057; 95% CI: 1.030–1.084), soft drinks (aOR: 1.112; 95% CI: 1.057–1.169), living in an urban area (aOR: 1.143; 95% CI: 1.119–1.168), living in central Indonesia (1.243; 95% CI: 1.187–1.302), being female (aOR: 1.235; 95% CI: 1.177–1.25), and obese (aOR: 1.787; 95% CI: 1.686–1.893). Conversely, people in Indonesia who undertook vigorous activity (aOR: 0.892; 95% CI: 0.864–0.921), had employment (aOR: 0.814; 95% CI: 0.796–0.834), had access to improved sources of drinking water (aOR: 0.910; 95% CI: 0.878–0.942), and were aged 35–44 years (aOR: 0.457; 95% CI: 0.446–0.467) were less likely to develop NCDs. Conclusion Modifiable, non-modifiable, and physiological risk factors have a significant influence on NCDs in Indonesia. This finding can be valuable information for Indonesian Government to arrange a cross-collaboration between government, healthcare workers, and society through advocacy, partnership, health promotion, early detection, and management of NCDs.

Climate change induced rising temperatures will pose a detrimental threat to decent health in the coming decades. Especially at risk are individuals with chronic diseases, since heat can exacerbate a variety of health conditions. In this article, I examine the heat‐morbidity relationship in the context of Indonesia, focusing on chronic, non‐communicable diseases, namely diabetes, cardiovascular and respiratory diseases. Using a novel dataset from the Indonesian national health insurance scheme Jaminan Kesehatan Nasional/Badan Penyelenggara Jaminan Sosial (BPJS) and linking it with meteorological data on the daily‐district level, I estimate the causal effect of high temperatures on the daily number of primary health care visits. The results show that on a hot day all‐cause visits and visits with a diagnosis of diabetes and cardiovascular diseases increase by 8%, 25% and 14%, respectively. These increases are permanent and not offset by visit displacement or ‘harvesting’. Visits related to respiratory diseases seem not to be affected by high temperatures. I use several climate change scenarios to predict the increase in visits and costs by the end of the century, which all forecast a substantial financial burden for the health care system. These results might have relevance for other middle‐income countries with similar climatic conditions.

Thailand's health development since the 1970s has been focused on investment in the health delivery infrastructure at the district level and below and on training the health workforce. Deliberate policies increased domestic training capacities for all cadres of health personnel and distributed them to rural and underserved areas. Since 1975, targeted insurance schemes for different population groups have improved financial access to health care until universal health coverage was implemented in 2002. Despite its low gross national income per capita in Thailand, a bold decision was made to use general taxation to finance the Universal Health Coverage Scheme without relying on contributions from members. Empirical evidence shows substantial reduction in levels of out-of-pocket payments, the incidence of catastrophic health spending, and in medical impoverishment. The scheme has also greatly reduced provincial gaps in child mortality. Certain interventions such as antiretroviral therapy and renal replacement therapy have saved the lives of adults. Well designed strategic purchasing contributed to efficiency, cost containment, and equity. Remaining challenges include preparing for an ageing society, primary prevention of non-communicable diseases, law enforcement to prevent road traffic mortality, and effective coverage of diabetes and tuberculosis control.

Epidemiology is often referred to as the science of public health. However, unlike other major sciences, its theoretical foundations are rarely articulated. While the idea of epidemiologic theory may seem dry and arcane, it is at its core about explaining the people's health. It is about life and death. It is about biology and society. It is about ecology and the economy. It is about how myriad aspects of people's lives - involving work, dignity, desire, love, play, conflict, discrimination, and injustice - become literally incorporated into our bodies and manifest in our health status, individually and collectively. And it is about essential knowledge critical for improving the people's health and minimizing inequitable burdens of disease, disability, and death. Tracing the history and contours of epidemiologic from ancient societies on through the development of - and debates within - contemporary epidemiology worldwide, this book shows how epidemiologic theory has long shaped epidemiologic practice, knowledge, and the politics of public health. Outlining an ecosocial theory of disease distribution that situates both population health and epidemiologic theory in societal and ecologic context, it offers a more holistic picture of how we embody the human experience.
