Abstract
Indonesian health centers (Puskesmas) have both inpatient and outpatient care unit and are allowed to treat 144 illness types. However, the Indonesian health centers mostly failed to generate sufficient income to cover their operations. This study aims to examine the influence of productivity on the income of health centers in Indonesia. The samples of this research are 102 health care centers located in 14 regencies within Aceh Province, Indonesia. Data was collected through questionaries and the respondents are 375 managers of the health centers. Using regression analysis, this study found a positive and significant influence of productivity on income. Thus, it can be concluded that productivity is effective enough to improve income of the health care centers.
