Current Strategies • Increase Tobacco taxes and price • Graphic Health Warnings • Total ban for promoting smoking • Non-smoking areas
3 burning issues • NATIONAL REGULATIONS (!) • Approval of the Implementation Regulation draft (PP draft) by the President, with provision of 100% smoke-free indoor environment and at least 50% pictorial health warnings • Absence (up and down process) of a comprehensive Tobacco Control bill • Indonesia has not ratified the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC)
Conclusion-2: Strengthening all component including civil society to focus in achieving 3 “burning issues”
ROLES OF IPHA • 4 Strategic roles: • Advocacy and communication • Knowledge holder • Strengthening health system thru its members • Network expansion among health professional organizations and NGOs
ADVOCACY & COMMUNICATION • Future short-term activities • Strengthening awareness among key stakeholders • Social pressures of those 3 “burning issues”
KNOWLEDGE HOLDER • Future short-term activities • Expanding data exchanges and warehouse • Seminars, workshops, roundtables
HEALTH SYSTEM STRENGTHENING • Future short-term activities • Assisting government in programming and health policies
STRENGTHENING NETWORK • Future short-term activities • Reposition IPHA as rainbow coalition for health development • Strengthening TCSC for coalition
Points of future direction and strategies_1 (DISCUSSION RESULTS) • Strengthening the health promotion efforts • Leadership on anti smoking habit • Among bureacrats as a part of fit and proper test for career development • Strengthening advocacy efforts to presidential office and “javanese advocacy” approaches to the closest within president circle • Strengthening advocacy efforts to parliament for Tobacco Control Bill • Strengthening the health professions in politics and health policy of tobacco control
Points of future direction and strategies_2 (DISCUSSION RESULTS) • Aggressive advocacy to parliament and government (i.e., president) to ratify the FCTC • Carefully “touch” tobacco tax, not only as tobacco control instrument but as a part of state revenue (for development) • Strengthening MoH structures and function for TC/NCD
