PRIVATISASI, KAPITALISME DAN NEGARA DALAM PELAYANAN KESEHATAN (SUATU STUDI PERUBAHAN SOSIAL DALAM INDUSTRI KESEHATAN)
ABSTRACT: This article
analyzes the health service conducted by the state along with private sectors
and it illustrates the positive roles of public health agencies. A more active
role of state supported by tax and priority in state budget will result in
social inclusion and access for the majority in the lower strata. On the other
hand, privatization of state hospitals will weaken state’s capacity in
providing health services. The increased role of domestic and foreign private
sectors within health industry must be controlled in order to protect patients
and to create a fair competition in the health service market. This complex
change calls for a strong accountability of state institutions as well as
health service providers and practitioners, especially doctors as it requires a
more critical mass media and active society. It needs a paradigm that perceives
patients as citizens with their constitutional rights supported by their
members of legislature in their constituencies, not merely as consumers in
uncontrolled market.
