Abstract

Indonesia is one of the developing countries that are prone to not only disasters, including earthquakes and tsunamis, which recently happened, but also accidents, such as traffic injuries. This study is conducted to review and introduce the emergency care system that affects health outcomes, such as morbidity, and even death. We evaluate the health mitigating system for health care named Public Safety Center (PSC) 119 that was implemented in Batang Regency, Central Java Province, Indonesia. The Si Slamet PSC 119 service innovation increased the number of emergency incident reports by 2.5 in 2015–2016, from 4.6 cases (2015) to 6.1 cases (2016), and by 22.5 in 2016–2017, from 6.1 cases (2016) to 28.6 cases (2017). Batang Regency is one of the districts in Indonesia that has a vision to become harmonious, energetic, competitive, religious, quiet, and prosperous by 2022. With this integrated emergency management system, Batang‟s local government has set its position, duties, and functions in not only achieving the vision of the district but also becoming the emergency health care for its citizens. Further development is needed to interconnect this system to all stakeholders and foster its implementation for not only in other regions of Indonesia, but also in other developing countries properly.
