Introduction
The Pematang Siantar City Medium-Term Development Plan Document (RPJMD) for the 2010-2015 period has been implemented, with a focus on four priority sectors, including the health sector. The RPJMD is a comprehensive plan that outlines the development goals and strategies for the city, with the aim of improving the quality of life of its citizens. The health sector is a crucial component of the RPJMD, as it plays a vital role in ensuring the well-being of the community. In this study, we aim to evaluate the implementation of the RPJMD in the health sector, with a focus on its effectiveness, efficiency, adequacy, leveling, responsiveness, and accuracy.
Methodology
The method adopted in this study is a descriptive method with a qualitative approach. This approach involves collecting and analyzing data through various means, including observations, interviews, and document reviews. The data collected was then analyzed using various tools and techniques, including the effectiveness, efficiency, adequacy, leveling, responsiveness, and accuracy indicators. These indicators were used to assess the implementation of the RPJMD in the health sector, and to identify areas of success and challenges.
Results
The results of the study showed that the implementation of the RPJMD in the health sector had reached several indicators of success, including effectiveness, adequacy, leveling, responsiveness, and accuracy. This indicates that various programs and activities designed in the RPJMD have been implemented well and provide results that are as expected. For example, with increasing public access to health services, the creation of more inclusive public health programs, as well as increasing the quality of health facilities in Pematang Siantar.
However, despite many indicators that show achievements, there are challenges that must be faced, especially in terms of efficiency. Efficiency indicators cannot be fulfilled because of the limited funds flowing to realize programs and activities. This is a special concern, considering that efficiency is an important factor in ensuring that all resources are used optimally to achieve health development goals.
