Economic benefits are still largely potential and have not been specifically measured. The self-assessment scores for this aspect are deliberately left moderate, not raised to look balanced.

Data/evidence of savings in service access costs

Partly open

The programme brings services to residents' homes through two routes: Longcase home visits — students with AHS doctors following one patient and their family at least twice — and village doctor home visits. Every contact at home is a trip to a health facility that residents do not have to make: travel and waiting time plus travel costs. Its value is estimated from the number of visits in JEJAK multiplied by the hourly rate of the West Java 2026 minimum wage, plus travel costs, under three assumption scenarios.

Evidence

Estimate from JEJAK data Estimated savings in service access costs

Volume from JEJAK today: 1,434 final Longcase case reports × 2 minimum home visits = 2,868 visits; plus 1,107 people reached by village doctor home visits (286 activities). In total, 3,975 home-based service contacts. Hourly wage: Rp 13,397 (West Java 2026 provincial minimum wage, Rp 2,317,601 (Governor's Decree 561/Kep.859-Kesra/2025) ÷ 173 hours).

ScenarioAssumption per contactValue per contactLongcase visitsVillage doctor visitsTotal potential
Low 2 hours × 1 person + fare of Rp 20,000
The patient travels alone to a nearby facility; one return fare on public transport
Rp 46,794 Rp 134,205,192 Rp 51,800,958 Rp 186,006,150
Medium 3 hours × 1.5 people + fare of Rp 30,000
About 3 hours of travel and waiting; half of patients are accompanied by one family member
Rp 90,287 Rp 258,943,116 Rp 99,947,709 Rp 358,890,825
High 4 hours × 2 people + fare of Rp 50,000
Hard-to-reach village; chronically ill or older patients are always accompanied; return motorcycle-taxi (ojek) fare
Rp 157,176 Rp 450,780,768 Rp 173,993,832 Rp 624,774,600

How to read it: the Medium scenario gives potential savings for residents of about Rp 358,890,825 for 3,975 home-based service contacts — the value of productive time and of costs residents do not have to pay. This figure moves with JEJAK data, and its assumptions are open to correction by field survey results.

Context — not evidence for this claim

The top five are chosen from different villages (the largest target group per village); the rest are in date order. Post titles are shown in their original Indonesian.

What is not yet available. This is an estimate from stated assumptions, not a measurement: the time and money residents actually spend per visit have not been surveyed, and not every home visit replaces a facility visit that would certainly have happened.

7.2

Data on prevented curative costs

Partly open

The Longcase places patients with chronic disease — most often hypertension, diabetes mellitus, obesity, dyslipidaemia — under longitudinal follow-up, and promotive-preventive activities (Posbindu, Prolanis, health education) reach tens of thousands of participants. Controlling hypertension is proven to lower stroke risk (a 10 mmHg systolic reduction ≈ 27% fewer strokes, meta-analysis by Ettehad et al., Lancet 2016). Prevented curative costs are presented as an illustration using national health insurance (JKN) tariffs, not as an achievement.

Evidence

Haemodialysis for end-stage kidney failure, 2 sessions/weekRp 102,169,600 per patient per yearINA-CBG haemodialysis tariff of Rp 982,400 per session × 104 sessions

Epidemiological basis: lowering systolic blood pressure by 10 mmHg lowers stroke risk by about 27% (Ettehad et al., Lancet 2016). The 1% share is a sensitivity illustration, not a measurement in programme patients. Other promotive-preventive activities (Posbindu, Prolanis, health education) add to this potential but are not counted, because their participants are not yet deduplicated.

Participants are summed per activity and not yet deduplicated across activities. The breakdown per location is in the field activity summary.

What is not yet available. Complications among followed-up patients have not been measured before and after; the figures here are a sensitivity illustration ("if 1% avoid it"), not an evaluation result.
