As a public service agency, hospitals must have sufficient feasibility to serve public health. In Indonesia, the feasibility level is tested by the Hospital Accreditation Commission (KARS) and must be followed by every hospital. After that, every hospital will be given the level of accreditation according to the service quality to patients.
