Community and preventive health programs formed another component of Indonesia's health system. There are 10,180 Puskesmas facilities around the country according to the Ministry of Health report in 2023; all are regarded as "first-level health facilities" by the national healthcare provider BPJS Kesehatan.
Community health services in Indonesia were organized in a three-tier system with Puskesmas at the top. Usually staffed by a physician, these centres provided maternal and child health care, general outpatient curative and preventive health care services, pre- and postnatal care, immunization, and communicable disease control programs. Specialised clinic services were periodically available at some of the larger clinics.
