    Infrastructure and health have been considered to be crucial investments in many countries to sustain their economic growth, including Indonesia. Furthermore, after decentralization in 2001, Indonesian local governments have authority to expand both sectors in order to support the acceleration of national economic growth. However, policymakers in the regions are often confronted with many factors in the investment decision-making process, one of which is budget constraints. Therefore, this study aims to prioritize policy in healthcare infrastructure sector determined by local government administrators in West Java province from three policy alternatives: development of the special hospital, capacity upgrading of public hospitals, and public health enhancement. A benefit-cost approach was used as an element for characterizing the positive and negative impacts (benefit for positive impact, and cost for negative impact) by period and categories to set the projects prioritization that measured by Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP). Furthermore, AHP was used as the policy instrument tool to generate the relative numbers as a reference to calculate the ratio between benefits and costs. The result shows that the majority of policy makers in the regions provide an assessment with the highest cost-benefit ratio for the public health enhancement compared with other alternatives. It means that accessibility to primary healthcare facilities still the main focus that needs to prior and local government administrators prefer to focus on the policy where the impact is to increase the health enhancement through expanding coverage of primary health facilities in the sub-district area. As a policy recommendation, AHP was demonstrated for the effectiveness in the decision-making process for public budgeting, especially in term of infrastructure investment. In particular, this research can be helpful for decision makers to set the ideal projects that should be prioritized when there are substantial budget limitations.
