Abstract

The development of health policies is a crucial aspect of improving access to and quality of healthcare services, particularly in remote areas such as Muna Regency. Key challenges in this region include budget limitations, unequal distribution of healthcare personnel, low community participation, and a lack of valid and integrated data. This study addresses the gap in health policy implementation, which is often suboptimal due to the absence of evidence-based strategic management approaches. Using a descriptive qualitative research design, data were collected through in-depth interviews with relevant informants, such as government officials, healthcare workers, and academics. The findings indicate that a collaborative strategic management approach, data system integration, and enhanced community participation are effective solutions to bridge the gap between health policy planning and implementation. This study contributes theoretically by reinforcing the relevance of strategic management in health policy contexts and offers practical solutions for policymakers in similar regions.
