Puskesmas are the spearhead of the government in providing basic health services to the community in Indonesia. Puskesmas are required to provide excellent quality services to the community, but these expectations have not been met. Government efforts are then made through independent financial management of the Regional Public Service Agency (BLUD). Karang Rejo Health Centre is one of the Health Centres that successfully received a designation by the Government of Tarakan City, North Kalimantan Province as one of the Independent Health Centres with BLUD management. This study aims to analyse the role & interaction between political actors or leaders in Puskesmas in improving the quality of excellent service at Karang Rejo Puskesmas.
