What Center for Health Policy and Management, FK-KMK, Universitas Gadjah Mada does

The Center for Health Policy and Management (PKMK/CHPM) is an academic research and consulting center within the Faculty of Medicine, Public Health and Nursing (FK-KMK) at Universitas Gadjah Mada, established February 5, 1998 in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. The center was renamed to its current form in March 2013 to reflect an expanded mandate in health policy alongside its original health services management scope. It operates five functional divisions (Health Policy, Hospital Management, Quality Management, Disaster Management, and a Publications & Seminars Unit) plus an emerging E-Health division, supported by a knowledge dissemination ecosystem of 12+ thematic websites (e.g., kebijakankesehatanindonesia.net, manajemenrumahsakit.net) and two peer-reviewed journals. The center delivers policy research, hospital management consulting, quality improvement programs, disaster management training, and capacity-building workshops for Indonesian government health institutions, hospitals, and international development partners.

PKMK is funded primarily through research grants and consultancy contracts from international development organizations (CIDA, AusAID/DFAT, Gates Foundation, World Bank, European Commission, KNCV) and Indonesian government bodies (Ministry of Health, provincial and district health offices). It generates additional revenue from training programs, workshops, webinars, and consultant certification courses. Its go-to-market is sales-led, relying on direct institutional engagement with 50+ hospital partners and 28+ government partners across more than 30 Indonesian provinces, supplemented by blended-learning delivery (combining face-to-face and virtual formats) and free website-based knowledge dissemination. The center maintains ISO 9001:2008 certification (recertified March 2015) and is governed under UGM with a director and three leadership periods since founding.

Broad incumbents

• Johns Hopkins Center for Communication Programs (JHU/CCP): Major university-affiliated global health communication and policy center. Already a partner of PKMK for health communication and policy dissemination research. Comparable in academic health policy research focus and international development orientation, but operates at much larger global scale.
• Results for Development (R4D): Global non-profit working on health systems, education, and governance with policy analysis and technical advisory services in low- and middle-income countries. Comparable to PKMK in serving donors and government health agencies with health policy research, but at significantly larger scale and broader thematic reach.
• ThinkWell: Global health policy and financing advisory firm serving governments, donors, and implementers on health system reform, financing strategy, and policy design. Comparable to PKMK in serving health policy decision-makers with advisory and analytical services, but operates as a commercial consultancy rather than an academic center.
• Macfarlane Burnet Institute: Major Australian medical research and public health institute with significant health policy and health systems programs. Already a partner of PKMK; comparable in mixing health policy research with international development delivery, but operates at substantially larger scale and broader scope.
• RAND Health: Major US-based health policy research division providing health systems analysis, policy research, and consulting to governments and international clients. Comparable to PKMK in conducting rigorous health policy research for government and international stakeholders, though at vastly larger scale and broader geographic reach.

Others

• World Bank Health, Nutrition and Population Global Practice: Major international financial institution funding health policy research and system strengthening in Indonesia and globally.

Direct peers

Already a regional partner of PKMK; shares the same academic institutional model, applied health policy research focus, and South/Southeast Asian regional context.
• Nossal Institute for Global Health, University of Melbourne: University-based global health research and capacity-building institute at the University of Melbourne, partnering with PKMK through academic collaboration. Comparable as an academic health systems and policy research organization with international development focus in the Asia-Pacific region.

Comparable to PKMK as an academic institution doing global health policy research and advisory engagement with low- and middle-income country governments.
