Abstract
Scholar perception of inequality in the healthcare system is viewed by the general public as indicating that healthcare services in Indonesia are still uneven and unfair. Scholars assess that the available healthcare workforce is unevenly distributed and often lacks competence in certain areas. They feel they receive only basic services at community health centers, unlike in the city where they can directly access specialists. And we highlight the perspective of respondent 1A, whom we surveyed through a quantitative survey, stating that obstacles often occur due to several other factors, including uneven infrastructure distribution, scarcity of healthcare workers in remote areas, lack of health insurance or government support that hinders some people due to high costs, optimization of resources, utilization of digital technology for health information, as well as lack of health education and information.The numerous obstacles and problems people encounter when trying to access healthcare services often make them feel excluded and ignored within the healthcare system.
