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. | en_US |
