Peraturan Menteri Kesehatan 7/2026 (Peraturan Menteri Kesehatan Nomor 7 Tahun 2026 tentang Perubahan Kedua atas Peraturan Menteri Kesehatan Nomor 25 Tahun 2023 tentang Organisasi dan Tata Kerja Unit Pelaksana Teknis Bidang Laboratorium Kesehatan Masyarakat) is an Indonesian ministerial regulation that amends, for the second time, the organisational charter of the Ministry of Health's public health laboratory units (Laboratorium Kesehatan Masyarakat, Labkesmas). It was signed by the Minister of Health on 15 June 2026 and took effect on its promulgation on 18 June 2026.[1] It forms part of health sector regulation in Indonesia and of the reorganisation of central government technical units described at public administration in Indonesia.
The amendment confirms the laboratories' place under the directorate general responsible for primary and community health, reduces the structure of each class of laboratory to a head and the holders of functional and executor positions, and requires the head of each unit to apply the government performance accountability system, national development risk management and national digital transformation.[2][3][4] Existing posts and officials remain in place until new positions are formed and filled.[5] CRPG's regulatory tracker published a summary of the regulation on 31 August 2026.[6]
The public health laboratory units were organised under Peraturan Menteri Kesehatan Nomor 25 Tahun 2023, which had been amended once before by Peraturan Menteri Kesehatan Nomor 8 Tahun 2025. The preamble of the second amendment gives three grounds for revising the charter: the optimisation of performance and the simplification of the bureaucracy, the fact that several of its provisions no longer matched legal developments and organisational needs, and the approval of the reorganisation by the Minister for State Apparatus Empowerment and Bureaucratic Reform. It was issued to implement Pasal 240 of Peraturan Menteri Kesehatan Nomor 21 Tahun 2024 on the organisation of the Ministry of Health, as amended by Peraturan Menteri Kesehatan Nomor 17 Tahun 2025.[7] Its legal bases include Undang-Undang Nomor 39 Tahun 2008 on state ministries as amended by Undang-Undang 61/2024, the health law Undang-Undang Nomor 17 Tahun 2023 and its implementing Peraturan Pemerintah Nomor 28 Tahun 2024, and Peraturan Menteri Kesehatan Nomor 24 Tahun 2023 on the classification of the laboratory units.[7:1]
The amending article, Pasal I, contains seventeen numbered changes.[8] The new Pasal 1 defines a technical implementation unit (Unit Pelaksana Teknis, UPT) as an autonomous work unit that carries out specific technical operational or technical support tasks of its parent organisation, and a Labkesmas UPT as one that manages public health laboratories. The Director General and the Directorate General are defined by reference to the management of primary and community health (pengelolaan kesehatan primer dan komunitas). Under Pasal 2, each unit sits under and answers to that Director General; the amended second paragraph provides that it is coordinated and supervised administratively by the Secretary of the Directorate General and technically by the director responsible for the governance of primary health services.[2:1]
Pasal 10 to Pasal 12, as amended, give each of the three classes of unit, the Balai Besar, the Balai and the Loka Laboratorium Kesehatan Masyarakat, a structure consisting of a head and holders of functional and executor positions (jabatan fungsional dan jabatan pelaksana), and delete the second paragraph of each article.[3:1] Bab VI is renamed accordingly. Under Pasal 15, functional positions provide functional services according to expertise and skill, executor positions carry out public services and government and development administration, and both are grouped by job family (rumpun jabatan). Pasal 16 sets the number of groups by need, on the basis of job analysis and workload analysis, and Pasal 17 allows position holders to be assigned individually or in work teams by the performance appraisal official or the head of the unit.[4:1]
Pasal 18 requires the head of a unit to apply the government agency performance accountability system, national development risk management and national digital transformation, and Pasal 19 provides that the business processes linking the parts of a unit are set by the Minister.[4:2] Pasal 22 extends the principles of coordination, integration, synchronisation and collaboration to relations with other agencies and requires them to be supported by data and information interoperability.[9] Under the amended Pasal 26, the head of a Balai Besar holds a senior executive post (jabatan pimpinan tinggi pratama) or an echelon II.b post, the head of a Balai an administrator post at echelon III.a, and the head of a Loka a supervisor post at echelon IV.a. Pasal 27 provides that the Minister appoints the head of a Balai Besar after a selection procedure and appoints the other heads in accordance with the law. Pasal 33 of the charter is deleted and its second annex, the organisation chart, is replaced.[9:1]
Pasal II keeps all existing positions and their holders in office until new positions are formed and new officials appointed, and brings the amendment into force on the date of promulgation.[5:1] The regulation was signed on the same day as Permenkes 8/2026 on health quarantine units and Permenkes 9/2026 on environmental health laboratories, which make parallel changes to other technical units of the ministry.[10][11]
