Abstract
Basic health services for the people of the city of Bandung have not yet been done optimally. The Regional Government (PEMDA) has been collaborating across sectors with the Health Service to provide basic health services in the community. The limited number of health workers at the Community Health Center is a real fact that cannot be denied. Community service at the Higher Education of Health has not been yet in line with community needs. This research deals with regional government policies based on Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 23 of 2014 concerning Regional Government which states that to improve public health, it needs to empower the community through cross-sectors including the role of The Higher Education of Health in implementing the tridharma, such as community service in handling public health problems. The reaseach uses an empirical normative legal method, the nature of the research is qualitative, and the research results are analyzed using positive law, circular in nature. The results of research indicate that from the data analysis at 3 (three) institutions of Higher Education of Health and 3 (three) sub-districts in the city of Bandung show that the Regional Government has not maximally included the role of the private sector in basic health services, namely health education; cross-sector collaboration is only incidental and higher health education implements the community service (”Penmas”) for lecturers simply to meet the needs of Lecturer Workload reports (BKD). The research results conclude that public health services in the community have not yet been done optimally due to limited health personnel and The local government's policy in basic health services in the community dealing with collaboration with health service is still limited, too, whereas cross-sector collaboration, namely higher education of Health, is only incidental in nature. It is recommended that local government utilizes the potential of health workers in higher education of Health and collaborates across sectors in regional development, in order to improve public health.
