Yustina Yudha Nita is a public health and medical practitioner and currently works for USAID MOMENTUM as Primary Health Care Specialist – East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia. The Program supports the Government of Indonesia in achieving PHC transformation agenda which indicated by effective and equitable coverage of PHC services, improved utilization of PHC services, and improved UHC financial protection. Nita’s main task is to provide technical assistance to the local government in order to achieve PHC transformation agenda.

Nita has long experiences in health system strengthening especially in maternal and newborn and currently supports the implementation of integrated PHC. She also continues to practice as a medical doctor, gaining deeper insights into the health issues of community members and public health concerns of her region. Working as a contract doctor in a remote area of NTT Province was a turning point in Nita’s career, as it highlighted for her that women and children in remote communities often lack access to quality health services. This prompted her to develop expertise in public health and health system strengthening, with a particular focus on health financing and health workforce management. She has helped raise awareness and promote action through her support for the working group that developed to Road Map and Acton Plan for Stunting and Maternal – Newborn Death Reduction in NTT.
