nonkesehatan

Nonkesehatan is a term used in Indonesian-language discourse to refer to elements, activities, or expenditures that lie outside the health sector. Literally formed from the prefix non- and the word kesehatan (health), it is used in policy, budgeting, and organizational contexts to draw a distinction between health-related and non-health-related domains.

In public administration, nonkesehatan is often applied to categorize programs, resources, or indicators that do not directly deliver health care but can affect health outcomes indirectly. Examples include urban infrastructure, water and sanitation projects, education and nutrition programs, or administrative costs within health institutions that are not tied to clinical services. The term may appear in planning documents as "program nonkesehatan" or "belanja nonkesehatan" (non-health expenditures).

Because health is influenced by social, economic, and environmental factors, some scholars argue that an overly strict focus on nonkesehatan may understate the importance of cross-sector collaboration and the social determinants of health.

Usage varies by country, institution, and language; nonkesehatan is not a universally standardized category in official classifications and should be interpreted in its specific context.

In Indonesian discourse, related concepts include kesehatan (health) and faktor sosial determinan kesehatan.
