Organisational Restructuring of the Biomedical and Health Genomics Centre: PERMENKES 11/2026

Indonesia's Ministry of Health has amended the organisational charter of its national biomedical and genomics facility. The instrument is Peraturan Menteri Kesehatan Nomor 11 Tahun 2026 tentang Perubahan atas Peraturan Menteri Kesehatan Nomor 19 Tahun 2023 tentang Organisasi dan Tata Kerja Balai Besar Biomedis dan Genomika Kesehatan (Regulation of the Minister of Health Number 11 of 2026 on the Amendment to Regulation of the Minister of Health Number 19 of 2023 concerning the Organisation and Working Procedures of the Centre for Biomedical and Health Genomics). It revises twelve articles of the 2023 charter governing the unit commonly referred to as BB Binomika.

Issue

BB Binomika is the Health Ministry's technical implementation unit for biomedical and genomic services. It was established under PERMENKES 19/2023, which set out its mandate, internal divisions and reporting lines. Since that charter took effect, the Ministry has revised its own directorate-general structure and adopted new administrative requirements that apply across its technical units. The 2026 amendment aligns the BB Binomika charter with those changes, restating definitions, the unit's reporting chain, its internal job groupings and the managerial systems its head must apply. The amendment operates by substitution: each numbered clause replaces the corresponding article of the 2023 regulation rather than adding a parallel set of rules.

Key Provisions

Pasal 1 restates the definitions used throughout the charter. A Unit Pelaksana Teknis (technical implementation unit, abbreviated UPT) is defined as a self-standing work unit carrying out specified technical operational tasks or technical support tasks on behalf of its parent organisation. BB Binomika is defined as the UPT that delivers services in biomedicine and health genomics. The same article defines the Minister as the minister responsible for health affairs, and identifies the Director General and the Directorate General as the senior official and the organisational unit handling advanced health management (pengelolaan kesehatan lanjutan). Pinning the supervising directorate-general to that portfolio fixes the reporting line that the rest of the charter depends on. Pasal 2 is likewise replaced.

Pasal 10 sets out the two categories of staff groupings inside the unit. Functional job groups, referred to in Pasal 9 paragraph (4), provide functional services in support of the tasks and functions of the organisational unit's leadership. Implementing job groups, drawn from the same provision, deliver public services along with governmental and development administration. Paragraph (3) states that the number of functional posts and implementing posts is determined by need, based on the results of a job analysis and workload analysis. Paragraphs (4) and (5) refer the tasks, types and grades of functional groups, and the tasks and classification of implementing groups, to the applicable statutory rules rather than fixing them in the charter itself.

Pasal 11 governs how those staff are deployed. Paragraph (1) permits functional and implementing officeholders, and the corresponding job groups under Pasal 10, to be assigned individually or through work teams or equivalent arrangements in support of organisational objectives and performance. Paragraph (2) places the power to make such assignments with the performance-appraising official or the head of the organisational unit. Paragraph (3) subjects the execution of those assignments to the prevailing statutory rules.

Pasal 12 directs the Head of BB Binomika, in performing the unit's tasks and functions, to apply the government agency performance accountability system (sistem akuntabilitas kinerja instansi pemerintah), national development risk management, and national digital transformation. This carries three cross-government administrative programmes into the unit's charter as standing obligations of its head.

Pasal 13 addresses internal coordination. Paragraph (1) requires that integrated performance of tasks and functions across organisational units within BB Binomika rest on a business process describing effective and efficient working relations, applying the principles of coordination, integration, synchronisation and collaboration. Paragraph (2) reserves to the Minister the authority to establish that inter-unit business process. Pasal 16 is also replaced.

Implications

For BB Binomika, the amendment changes the formal framework within which staffing and internal coordination decisions are made. Staff numbers are tied to documented job and workload analysis under Pasal 10 paragraph (3), and team-based deployment is expressly authorised under Pasal 11, with the appointing authority named. The obligations in Pasal 12 place the unit's head within the same accountability, risk-management and digital-transformation programmes that apply to other ministerial units, and Pasal 13 keeps the design of internal working relations at ministerial level rather than delegating it to the unit. Readers tracking the Ministry's 2026 output may find related material in its other instruments from the same year, including its parallel ministerial regulations and later measures in the same series.

Regulatory Context

The regulation amends rather than replaces PERMENKES 19/2023, so the 2023 charter remains the operative instrument for provisions left untouched. Practitioners working with BB Binomika should read the two texts together, noting that Pasal 1, 2, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 and 16 now read as set out in the 2026 amendment. Further Ministry instruments issued during 2026, such as other health administration measures, form part of the same body of ministerial rulemaking.
