The basic accreditation status was 45.5%. The status of intermediate accreditation was 40.9%. The main accreditation status was 13.6%. There was no plenary status of accreditation.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the quality of health services at community health centers. Material and Method: The research method is an observational study by taking data in 13 provinces in Indonesia for 3 years (2016‑2018). A total of 45 randomly selected community health centers were evaluated for 3 days per health community center using an accreditation instrument that had been prepared and established by the Indonesian Ministry of Health consisting of 9 chapters, 42 standards, 168 criteria, and 776 assessment elements.
