Reading 1 for question 161 – 167
Today, Indonesia`s maternal mortality rate remains one of the highest in Southeast Asia. Experts closely studying the problem generally conclude that a change in course is needed for Indonesia to make further progress. First there are question about whether the government has the ability-or the resources-to actually improve health. Performance and utilization of public health services is on the decline, and the private sector is now the major source of health care in Indonesia. An estimated 30-50 percent of newborn deliveries in health facilities now take place in private clinics (as compared to approximately 10 percent a decade ago). Preference for private sector services may be due, in part, understaffing of public health, facilities, and high absenteeism. The government allows ”dual practice” whereby civil servant health providers are allowed to established a private practice outside of official work hours. As a result, expert’s studies show an average of 40 percent of doctors absent from their public post during work hours.

Overall, per capita spending on health in Indonesia is much lower than other countries in the region, and insurance coverage is extremely limited. Health financing is overwhelmingly private-with individuals paying for around 80 percent of all health outlay. Mostly out-of-pocket. Disturbingly, the poor utilize less of publicly-funded health services provided by the state: the poorest 20 percent of the population captures almost 40 percent. Policy analysts also point to cause by scant distributions in health funding among provinces and major inefficiencies in how funds are spent.
161. The word “outlay” can best be replaced by
_____

One of the most effective justice sector institutions in Indonesia is the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK), established in December 2002. The KPK demonstrates what can be achieved when the different functions of investigation and prosecution are coordinated. Moreover, it works with a specialized anti-corruption chamber are dominated by a majority of ad hoc judges whose reputation from honesty is well known. However, in December 2006, the Constitutional Court struck down the law creating the anti-corruption court on the grounds that it was not created as part of The Law on the Courts. The Constitutional Court gave parliament three years to amend the law and properly constitute the anti-corruption Court under The Law on the Courts, but allowed the anti-corruption courts to continue to function in the meantime. The parliament set itself a deadline of March 2009 to pass the new law. This was the extended to September many legislators have been arrested by the KPK and convicted in the anti-corruption court, leading some to question if the parliament lacks motivation to pass this law.

The KPK constituently gets convictions in corruption cases, showing what can be done with clean courts, professional investigation, and effective persecutors. But this kind of successful cooperation is certainly an exception. Their consistent convictions raise the bar for the police, the attorney general`s office and the courts. Indonesia needs coordinated bold leadership if it is to get out of the corruption quagmire. Better coordination between police and prosecutors is essential. They should have both the technology and the legal means to obtain wire taps and recordings the way the KPK does to obtain convictions in corruption cases.
