Aceh Health Insurance (-JKA) has been implemented since 2010 to increase the health equity by covering the health expenses and guaranteeing that all Acehnese are covered regardless of their economic, educational, and social statuses. However, since its implementation, there has been no study on its impact on health quality, particularly regarding the utilization of the main referral hospital (Dr Zainoel Abidin Hospital located in Banda Aceh) and the effects of the geographic accessibility and the number of specialist doctors in each regency/city on hospital utilization. This retrospective study assessed the equity factors during the Aceh Health Insurance implementation and during its integration to National Health Insurance (-JKN) from 2013 to 2021 using data of travel time (time spent for travelling from the origin regency/city of referred patients to the main referral center) and healthcare resources (number of specialist doctors). The data were analyzed using Student's t-tests, Kolmogorov-Smirnov or Mann-Whitney U test when appropriate. Williamson Index was calculated to determine the disparities of health equity between regencies. Our data indicated the noticeably increase of health facilities utilization since the implantation of Aceh Health Insurance. However, there was no equity in the use of main referral facility by the residents in Aceh - was dominated by residents who lived closer and from more populated regencies/cities. In conclusion, there are accessibility and financial hardship barriers in accessing the health care facilities during the implementation of Aceh Health Insurance that need to be addressed by the government to achieve the health equity for all Acehnese.
亚齐健康保险(-JKA)自2010年起实施,旨在通过支付医疗费用来提高健康公平性,并确保所有亚齐人都能得到覆盖,无论其经济、教育和社会地位如何。然而,自实施以来,尚未有关于其对健康质量影响的研究,特别是关于主要转诊医院(位于班达亚齐的宰努勒·阿比丁博士医院)的利用情况,以及每个县/市的地理可达性和专科医生数量对医院利用的影响。这项回顾性研究利用旅行时间(从转诊患者的原籍县/市前往主要转诊中心所花费的时间)和医疗资源(专科医生数量)的数据,评估了2013年至2021年亚齐健康保险实施期间及其与国家健康保险(-JKN)整合期间的公平因素。在适当情况下,使用学生t检验、柯尔莫哥洛夫-斯米尔诺夫检验或曼-惠特尼U检验对数据进行分析。计算威廉姆森指数以确定各县之间健康公平的差异。我们的数据表明,自亚齐健康保险实施以来,医疗设施的利用率显著提高。然而,亚齐居民在使用主要转诊设施方面存在不公平现象——主要由居住在较近地区和人口较多的县/市的居民主导。总之,在亚齐健康保险实施期间,在获得医疗设施方面存在可达性和经济困难障碍,政府需要解决这些问题,以实现所有亚齐人的健康公平。
