Innovation and Creative Solutions to Maintain Healthcare Service Quality
Amidst various resource constraints, local governments must ensure the maintenance of healthcare service quality. This can be achieved through innovation and creative solutions that directly address the needs of the community.
Brilliant innovations implemented by local governments can be realised in various ways. Regional innovation provides added value in delivering inclusive and impactful healthcare services.
Building on this, the 2026 Batch II Regional Sulawesi Outstanding Local Government Awards were held for regions deemed capable of expanding healthcare access and maintaining its quality. These regions were included in the award category for Healthcare Access and Quality.
This category assesses the commitment and performance of local governments in improving public access to high-quality and easily accessible healthcare. The assessment covers healthcare access, JKN (National Health Insurance) participation, proper sanitation, standardised health facilities, and free health check-ups. Regional innovation serves as an added value in providing inclusive and impactful healthcare.
The 2026 Batch II Regional Sulawesi Outstanding Local Government Awards continue the series of appreciations previously held in several Indonesian regions. Following the Sumatra Region in Batam, the Java and Bali Region in Bali, and the Kalimantan Region in Balikpapan, the series has proceeded to the Sulawesi Region.
Several local governments in Sulawesi have come under the spotlight for the programmes and innovations they have implemented, including environmental management, improving access to healthcare and education, and providing decent housing for the community.
The 2026 Batch II Regional Sulawesi Outstanding Local Government Awards took place on Friday, 10 September 2026, at 19:00 WITA. The event was broadcast via live stream on detikcom and detikSulsel.
