This ILP is an effort to organize and coordinate various primary health services with a focus on meeting health service needs.

He asserted the Jakarta Government is fully committed to improving health services, both for the people of Jakarta and the buffer areas. Moreover, around 50 percent of patients seeking treatment at the Jakarta RSUD are residents who live outside Jakarta.

He also expressed his appreciation to the Jakarta Health Agency (Dinkes) for building the Tebet and Pasar Minggu health center buildings with a green building concept.

"I entrust it to the Health Center Head to continue to maintain this building so that the life of this building can be long. Of course, it could be a pilot concept at other community health centers in Jakarta," he explained.

Health Minister, Budi Gunadi Sadikin explained this primary health service is one of the pillars of health transformation which is focused on meeting health needs based on the life cycle that is easily accessible and affordable at the community, family, and individual levels.

"Primary health services are provided integratedly at Health Centers, networks and networks of primary health services to meet health service needs in every phase of life, and are conducted by encouraging increased promotive and preventive efforts, supported by innovation and the use of technology," he explained.

- Cluster 1: Management Cluster

- Cluster 2: Maternal and Child Health Cluster

- Cluster 3: Adult and Elderly Age Cluster
