Abstract

The increase in the population of South Sulawesi is in line with the increasing needs of the population related to national health referral guarantee information. The problem is the unavailability of a clear geographical picture and complete information about the state and distribution of public health services. The research aims to map national health insurance health services based on the tastes and needs of the people in South Sulawesi. This research uses a qualitative approach. Data were analyzed using content analysis based on method triangulation, source triangulation, and data triangulation. The results of the study found that the mapping of health services in South Sulawesi has not run as expected so that increasing access and at the same time can be an accelerated step to achieve equity in the health referral system performance. The achievement of equity in health services and access to health services must be determined by the preference and actual needs of health services rather than merely the ability to pay or geographical location.
