ABSTRACT
Background:
Indonesia has recently implemented a national policy to ensure equitable access to medicines, promote their rational use, and maintain a reliable and quality supply, specifically for essential medicines. Several organizations have conducted evaluations on essential medicines use but have yielded varying results and cannot reflect the actual situation.Objectives:
This study aims to discover the current situation regarding essential medicines and identify the most important factors to be considered during future indicator-based evaluations in health facilities in Indonesia.Methods:
This qualitative study was carried out using FGDs and interview from January to February 2022. The sample population consisted of ten experts selected based on predetermined criteria. The discussions were recorded and transcribed verbatim in the original language, thematically coded with Nvivo, and analyzed for common themes.Results:
This study found 32 factors related to the use of essential medicines in Indonesia, divided into three categories of components, namely access, medicine handling quality, and rational use. Furthermore, a total of 10, 8, and 14 main factors were related to access, handling quality, and rational use, respectively. The discussion provided various perspectives on measuring drug use, specifically essential medicines. Based on expert opinions, evaluating the utilization of essential medicines by relying on existing guidelines was insufficient due to superficiality and irrelevance within the Indonesian health system.Conclusion:
Based on the results, one of the crucial factors to consider during evaluation was the accessibility of medicines, which encompassed their availability in health facilities and affordability to patients... (AU)
