BOGOR - The Regency Government (Pemkab) of Bogor, West Java has prepared a budget of Rp. 60 billion for incentives for health workers (nakes) in the 2021 Regional Revenue and Expenditure Budget (APBD).
"For this year, the incentives are borne by the regional government. In 2020, the budget will be prepared from the Ministry of Health directly," said Head of the Bogor Regency Financial and Asset Management Agency (BPKAD), Ade Jaya Munadi in Cibinong, Bogor, quoted from Antara, Wednesday, July 21.
Until now, the budget of Rp. 34.8 billion has been disbursed. The disbursement has been made for the provision of incentives in January and February 2021.
The amount of incentives given to specialists is Rp. 7.5 million, general practitioners or dentists are Rp. 5 million, midwives or nurses are Rp. 3.75 million and other health workers are Rp. 2.5 million.
The shift in providing incentives from the Ministry of Health to the Bogor Regency Government has an impact on the amount of incentives for health workers. If in 2020 specialist doctors get Rp. 15 million, general practitioners or dentists Rp. 10 million, midwives or nurses Rp. 7.5 million and other health workers Rp. 5 million.
"For 2021, the Ministry of Home Affairs asks each regional government to disburse the health worker incentives at least 50 percent compared to last year or adjust it to the regional financial capacity," explained Ade.
In addition, the Bogor Regency BPKAD has also disbursed a vaccination incentive of Rp. 4.8 billion with an honorarium of Rp. 500 thousand.
"We have also disbursed incentive payments for November 2020 of around Rp. 18.6 billion. This budget comes from the Ministry of Health which goes to the regional treasury at the end of December 2020 which we will then budget for in 2021," said Ade.
