Some health professional types which are new still need regulation. Other types are still rare, which mean, high demand, but low professional quantity due to limitation of institution and poor interesting. (Bappenas, 2012) Retrieve of importance of health human resources, Depkes is impossible separate runs with Depdiknas because however Depdiknas has absolute authority in legislation of wisdom related to education system in Indonesia, especially health education. Depdiknas have to try in order that health education harmonious run with what Depkes need to satisfy public need. According to Bappenas, some issue need got attention in health professional education are the planning of health professional demand with graduate production is remain no match, production ability is still no balance yet with graduate reserve, graduate production is no match yet with quality wanted by consumer, subtlety and management between Poltekes and non-Poltekes isnt still synchronized yet, accomplishment of health professional education by government cant counterbalance with the private, legislation produced by Depkes and Depdiknas isnt harmonious yet. Every health professional academic institution covered by Depdiknas surely want to release health professional which has skill and ability in relation building with others, work in right and can be responsible in academic as well, use the wisdom authority, and able to role actively as planner, organizer, and motor of development.

As conclusion, health professional demand planning must be matched with the need of health development, whether local or national. Beside that, health human resources efficiency must be held equally and match by the government and community. That things will may develop great health professional if collaboration of Depkes and Depdiknas run well.
