West Java Provincial Government Supports KITA SEHAT Programme

The West Java Provincial Government (Pemprov Jabar) has committed to raising residents’ life expectancy through the strengthening of integrated primary healthcare services. This commitment was affirmed by West Java Deputy Governor Erwan Setiawan while attending the launch of the KITA SEHAT programme at the Ministry of National Development Planning/Bappenas office in Jakarta on Monday, 20 July 2026.

According to him, improving health standards is the primary foundation for developing quality human resources in West Java. “We are committed to improving the quality of public healthcare services with support from the KITA SEHAT programme. Strengthening primary healthcare services is not merely about improving service quality; it is a manifestation of health governance reform to make it more effective, equitable, and sustainable,” said Erwan.

He assessed that the KITA SEHAT programme is highly relevant to the social and health challenges facing West Java, particularly in accelerating the reduction of stunting and improving toddler nutrition. This collaborative programme is expected to serve as a catalyst for accelerating health transformation across West Java’s 27 regencies and cities.

As proof of its seriousness, the West Java Provincial Government had previously rolled out the Village Doctor Programme. This innovation brings medical personnel to remote areas to ensure communities have access to healthcare services that are closer, faster, and of higher quality.

“The success of health transformation in West Java will have a highly significant impact, not only for West Java residents but also for achieving national health development targets.” (*)
