Abstract:

PT Bonnys was established in 1989 as the first commercial chain of immunization clinics and the leading provider of hepatitis B vaccinations in Indonesia. Promoting Financial Investments and Transfers to Involve the Commercial Sector in Family Planning's (PROFIT) goals in Indonesia are to expand the role of the private sector in financing and providing family planning services, to shift middle-income users of public sector family planning to private sector family planning in order to enable scarce public sector resources to be targeted to lower-income groups, and to support the government's goal of improving Indonesia's contraceptive method mix by increasing the use of more permanent contraceptive methods. In keeping with those goals, PROFIT funded the development of a new company management information system to track customers, sales, and service statistics. In January 1994, PROFIT loaned PT Bonnys $650,000 to add family planning to its 6 stationary clinics and 6 mobile units. The funds were to pay for clinic renovations, family planning products and equipment, staffing, and marketing. However, in light of PT Bonnys' financial problems in 1994 and the unlikelihood that family planning objectives would be achieved, an accelerated payback of the loan plus interest was negotiated so that the loan was repaid by May 1995.
