National Health System
One of a fairly fundamental subsystem of the National Health System (SKN) is a health care financing. The absence or no funding in the administration of optimal health efforts and other programs, is one of the main causes of not achieving health development goals that we want. Why not, almost all activities in development can not be denied, requires funding and costs. Some important factors in health financing must be considered include:
* The quantity of health development budget provided by government and private sector donations.
* Level of effectiveness and efficiency of use (functionalization) of the existing budget.
Therefore, health policy reform in a country should provide an important focus for health financing policy to ensure the adequacy, equity, efficiency and effectiveness. Planning and adequate health financing arrangements will help the government in a country to be able to mobilize financing sources, rationally allocate and use it efficiently and effectively. Health financing policy that prioritizes equality and pro-poor would encourage the achievement of universal access. In a broader aspect is believed that the financing in this field has contributed to social and economic development.
Health service itself in recent years become very expensive both in developed countries and in developing nations. Excessive Use of health services with high technology is one of the main causes. Another cause is the dominance of health care financing with cash payment mechanisms and weak capacity in the management of resources and services itself. WHO provides the focus of health financing strategy which includes key issues, challenges, the main objective of policies and action programs in general are in following areas:
