Abstract

The main causes are: high cost, limited health workers, limited infrastructure, and lack of adequate hospital services.ÿ This writing is based on a research about inclusive development in the health sector, particularly for the poor in Surakarta (Solo) City in Central Java Indonesia. The purpose of this research is to understand the implementation of health policy, which provides easy access for the poor to health services as a form of inclusivity in the development of Solo city. This research used qualitative approach with in-depth interview data collection technique. One of the findings of the research is the Public Health Care Program (PHCP) in Solo as one policy enacted by the Municipal Government gives better access for the poor by providing a responsive and affordable health services. This policy can be successful because the Surakarta governments political will to make better health services. However, this policy cannot cover all the poor in Solo city. Challenges include the complicated procedures that limits health service's accessibility to the remaining poor in Solo.
