ABSTRACT

Background: The success of health services is an indicator of the success of national development. The success of
hypertension services is influenced by various factors including human resources, financing, facilities, methods, the
infrastructure used, and the process of achieving indicators. The purpose of this study was to analyze the
implementation of the hypertension service program in Talaud district.
Methods: This type of research is qualitative research using in-depth interview techniques as well as observation.
Informants in this study were the head of the non-communicable diseases (NCDs) section, the manager of the
hypertension program, and the holder of the hypertension disease program at the community health center.
Results: The availability of human resources in implementing the hypertension disease program is in accordance with
the needs, the infrastructure used is sufficient but the additional infrastructure is needed in the form of KIT of
integrated coaching posts (Posbindu) and a budget for implementing hypertension services. Early detection of
hypertensive patients is carried out through integrated coaching posts and services at the community health center.
The realization of the target for hypertension services in Talaud regency has not been achieved due to the limitations
of medicines and the lack of public awareness in conducting health checks to detect funds and treat hypertension.
Conclusions: The implementation of the hypertension disease program in terms of input and process is adequate. The
output of hypertension services has not been achieved.
