Abstract
In decentralization, an advocacy is needed to increase the health budget in Parepare District. One of the advocacy methods recommended by the World Bank is the economic loss approach. This research is observational in the field of health economics that contributes directly to the magnitude of the economy lost of the community and the government and provides advocacy to the executive and legislative to see the harm it causes. The research results show the amount of direct cost, which consists of household expenditure for transport Rp.295,865,500. Indirect Cost of YLD of Rp.14.688.000, and YLL of Rp.28.986.336.00, so the amount of DALY is Rp.43.674.336.000. Total economic loss of Rp.43.970.201.500. These huge economic losses can be prevented by increasing the allocation of health budgets for promotive and preventive efforts and expanding the coverage of health insurance for the community. There is a need to advocate the executive and legislative about the importance of Guarantee on Public Health Financing by conducting studies in terms of economic losses so that all Strategic Alliances believe that health is an investment
