This study aims to analyze the impact of the allocation of the Special Allocation Fund Of Health on the health status of communities in underdeveloped regions of Indonesia during the period 2019–2023. The research focuses on three key indicators of health status: the Maternal Mortality Rate (MMR), the Infant Mortality Rate (IMR), and the Life Expectancy Rate (LER). The method used is quantitative with a panel data approach on 62 underdeveloped districts based on Presidential Regulation No. 63 of 2020. Secondary data were obtained from regional financial reports, health performance reports, and statistical data from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) and related ministries. The analysis was conducted using panel data regression with the Chow, Hausman, and Lagrange Multiplier tests. The results of the study indicate that the allocation of Special Allocation Fund of Health has a significant effect in reducing MMR and IMR and increasing HLE. These findings suggest that fiscal policy through Special Allocation Fund of Health contributes positively to improving access, service quality, and health infrastructure in underdeveloped regions. The study recommends that Special Allocation Fund of Health be directed more strategically and accompanied by monitoring and evaluation based on local needs to support the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in the health sector
