Objective: The Healthy Indonesia Programme with a family approach strategy was launched by the Indonesian government in 2015. Pharmaceutical service, including drug supply management and clinical pharmacy, is one of the essential components for the program implementation. This study was aimed to evaluate the pharmaceutical services support in the Healthy Indonesia Programme in West Java Indonesia. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study observed on pharmaceutical services under the family approach programme description. A self-completed questionnaire was distributed to 39 accredited community health centres (CHCs) in West Java, Indonesia. Several indicators of the Standard Pharmacy Services were assessed. Results: Thirty-nine CHCs were involved in this study. Most of the CHCs were accredited as intermediate (59%) and have applied good pharmaceuticals and consumables inventory management. The online system and more training will give room for improvement. A big gap was found in human resources number and competencies, impact on clinical pharmacy standard services including counselling services (23.1%) and home visit (7.7%). Conclusion: Applying an online system is needed to improve the inventory management system in CHCs. The quality of clinical pharmacy standard services in CHCs can be improved by fulfilling the minimum numbers and competencies of human resources.
