Not all informants understand about physiotherapy services at the Puskesmas because in writing there are no physiotherapists in Permenkes 43/2019. Meanwhile, the understanding of rehabilitation is interpreted as secondary and even tertiary services. The services at the Puskesmas are primary services, which are more promotive and preventive. Informants are of the opinion that the presence of personnel in the Puskesmas depends on the policies of each region and also the needs.Addition of personnel at the Puskesmas has an impact on regional budgets and capabilities, besides there is no clear list of service activities.The study of the Permenkes 65/2015 document clearly states the existence of physiotherapy services at the Puskesmas, but in Permenkes 43/2019 it has not been clearly stated that there are physiotherapists.Conclusion:  The implementation of Permenkes 65/2015 concerning Standards for Physiotherapy Services, especially in Puskesmas in the East Java region is still very minimal, namely 62 out of 968 Puskesmas (6.4%). Permenkes 43/2019 regarding Puskesmas has not stated the presence of physiotherapists, so there is no synchronization of laws and regulations related to physiotherapy services.
