This qualitative case study examines the implementation of the Special Autonomy Health Card (KO SEHAT) program at BLUD RSUD Nabire in Central Papua Province, Indonesia. The research investigates the program's effectiveness in improving healthcare access for Indigenous Papuans, identifying implementation challenges, and analyzing its impact on healthcare service quality. Utilizing a purposive sampling approach, the study gathered data through in-depth interviews with 12 key informants, including hospital management, healthcare professionals, patients, and local health officials. The findings reveal that while the KO SEHAT program has significantly enhanced healthcare accessibility for Indigenous Papuans, several critical challenges persist. These include insufficient program socialization, administrative barriers, limited funding, and communication gaps between healthcare providers and beneficiaries. The study highlights the program's positive contributions to healthcare equity, while also identifying key areas for improvement in implementation and service delivery.
