DISCUSSIONS • The Health Insurance for the poor is estimated utilized only 40 millions out of 76.4 millions of poor people • Under utilization showed by areas outside Jawa, Bali and Sumatra • Main obstacles: poor geographical access & transport facilities and limited availability of health facilities (qualified personnel, drugs, equipment , physical infrastructure) • Need special efforts to fix the situation, to achieve objectives of Maternity Insurance
