Determinants of healthcare utilization under the Indonesian national health insurance system – a cross-sectional study
This study demonstrates that the distribution of healthcare utilization in Indonesia is largely equitable as predisposing factors (age and gender) and health need were found to greatly influence the utilization of different types of health services. However, enabling factors such as health insurance status were also found to be associated with inequity in utilization of hospital services. Further policy actions regarding resource allocation and health service planning are warranted to achieve a more equitable pattern of health service use in Indonesia.
