REVIEW

Since the monetary crisis of 1997, Indonesia has also been suffering from various other crises. There has been an increase in horizontal conflict in several regions in Indonesia. Poverty, which is still a basic problem in many areas, has been exacerbated by the emergence of internally displaced populations resulting from these conflicts. The monetary crisis itself has weakened the ability of the government to fund health programs. In response to this, decentralization was considered one of the best ways out. With the Decentralization Law No. 22/1999, the prime responsibility for the planning and implementation of health programs including tuberculosis control was handed over to the district level. Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) in the community and in IDP camps are at risk of tuberculosis due to poverty related factors and stressful life events.

This research aims to describe the health care access of internally displaced populations, particularly in terms of tuberculosis control, during the crisis and during the implementation of regional autonomy. It also aims to ascertain the cause of barriers to access, and to recommend interventions to reduce these inequities.
