Based on Ministry of Health’s Order No. 1076/ Menkes/ SK/ VII/ 2003 about traditional medicine, Semarang Health Office is responsible to monitor the activities of traditional healers in Semarang. Monitoring system of traditional medicine activities started by collecting and registering the traditional healers.

The total score average for the old system was 1.16 and for the new system was 4. Statistical analysis of the difference between before and after system development showed a p-value of 0.0001.
