The Ministry of Health initiated the transformation of the Indonesian health system by focusing its implementation on achieving six pillars, namely primary care transformation, referral service transformation, health resilience system transformation, health financing system transformation, health human resources transformation and health technology transformation.
Health technology transformation is an important agenda to encourage the realization of a healthy Indonesia through the use of data and technology. This breakthrough was made as a form of long-term strategy to tackle health problems that focus on the health ecosystem, service efficiency, and data integrity as the basis for decision and policy making.
The Directorate General of Pharmaceuticals and Health Equipment of the Ministry of Health through the Directorate of Pharmaceutical Management and Services in realizing the transformation of health technology by continuing to encourage the use of information technology-based drug governance management systems through the development of the Digital Inventory National (DIN) system in the Satu Sehat Logistik platform.
Strengthening the health logistics system plays an important role in ensuring the supply of drugs and vaccines. The Satu Sehat Logistik platform is a health data exchange ecosystem that connects information systems or applications from all members of Indonesia's digital health ecosystem including health facilities, regulators, guarantors, and digital service providers. In the Satu Sehat Logistik platform, the Digital Inventory National (DIN) will stream drug distribution data from the pharmaceutical industry which will be interconnected with the SMILE application, so that in the future it can monitor pharmaceutical preparations in real time based on electronics.
February 15, 2024 at the Ministry of Health headquarters in Jakarta, in order to develop the Digital Inventory National (DIN) system, the Directorate General of Pharmaceuticals and Health Equipment of the Ministry of Health through the Directorate of Pharmaceutical Management and Services held a cooperation agreement for the One Healthy Logistics Pilot Project with PT Kimia Farma and PT Rajawali Nusindo which will stream data in the Digital Inventory National (DIN) platform.
The signing of this cooperation was carried out by Acting President Director of PT Rajawali Nusindo Iskak Putra, and Director of Production and Supply Chain of PT Kimia Farma Hadi Kardoko with Director of Pharmaceutical Management and Services Agusdini Banun Saptaningsih, witnessed by Expert Staff for Health Economics Bayu Teja Muliawan and Secretary of the Directorate General of Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Heri Radison.
In his report, Director of Pharmaceutical Management and Services Agusdini Banun Saptaningsih said that the Pilot Project is the first step in realizing One Healthy Logistics so that the profile of drug availability at every point of the distribution chain, from upstream to downstream, starting from the pharmaceutical industry, distributors, pharmaceutical management facilities, to health service facilities can be monitored to anticipate drug vacancies in both programs and health services for the community.
The initial milestone has been carried out in the framework of developing Satu Sehat Logistik in the form of developing a Dictionary of Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices (KFA) as an effort to standardize drug and BMHP product data. The next development progress, which is to be achieved, is the development of a master facility index (MSI) as an effort to standardize data on health facility facilities and the integration of drug supply data from the pharmaceutical industry and distributors into Satu Sehat Logistik.
"This cooperation agreement is expected to develop the Digital Inventory National (DIN) system in accordance with the business process design of the Satu Sehat Logistik platform. This is an effort to standardize the architecture and specifications of data exchange between health industry players, which is part of the grand design of developing health logistics information systems on the upstream side," said Secretary of the Directorate General of Pharmaceuticals Heri Radison.
In addition, the Secretary of the Directorate General of Pharmaceuticals in his remarks when opening this event also reminded that health resilience is a shared responsibility between state and local governments as well as public and private partners, non-governmental organizations, academics, professional associations, communities, volunteers, families, and individuals.
