Abstract

The purpose of writing this journal is to find out the policies and sources of funding for handling COVID-19 in Indonesia by the Central Government and the flow of services and referral for COVID-19 patients. The method used in this paper is literature review. The literature review is done by reading and analyzing and analyzing various literatures, both in the form of documents, journal data publications from The Finance Ministry and from the official website that releases information relevant to research. Data analysis is performed by reducing, classifying, interpreting, and drawing conclusions. Based on data distribution of cases up to April 5, 2020 the number of positive cases was 2,273 with mortality rates ranging from 8.7%, spread in 32 provinces out of a total of 34 provinces in Indonesia. Policies and anticipatory measures have been taken by the government, both at the central government, provincial, district and city governments in the effort to overcome this COVID-19 pandemic. The main step that has been taken by the government is the issuance of Government Regulation in Lieu of Perppu Law Number 1 Year 2020 concerning State policy and financial stability for handling the COVID-19 pandemic 19. Some problems handling COVID-19 patients at COVID-19 referral hospitals are the lack of availability of facilities and infrastructure such as the COVID-19 patient's special room, personal protective equipment for health workers, lack of human resources such as doctors, nurses who can work directly in serving and treating COVID-19 patients. The government through the Ministry of Health on 24 April 2020 has issued a circular number HK.02.01/Menkes/295/2020 regarding claims for reimbursing COVID-19 care costs by hospitals.
