The results showed that the overall of the pharmaceutical and RDU in SDHs received an average score of 61.75 out of the total score of 80 (77.18 percent). In total, the strength of SDHs was properly drug storage and the weakness was in regulating and disbursement of medical supplies. For health consumer protection, the total received an average score of 26.33 out of 35 points (75.23%). The strength of SDHs was database management and the weakness was in personnel issues.
