Health in Indonesia

[5] When looking at the right to health with respect to children, Indonesia achieves 93.5% of what is expected based on its current income.

[6] In regards to the right to health amongst the adult population, the country achieves only 87.1% of what is expected based on the nation's level of income.

In Indonesia the number of midwives per 1,000 live births is unavailable and the lifetime risk of death for pregnant women is 1 in 190.

The main cause of deaths are severe post-natal bleeding due to lack of pregnancy regular control, although National Family Planning Coordination Board and the Central Statistics Agency data showed improvement from 93 percent of women received prenatal care in 2007 increased to 96 percent in 2012.

There have been several studies, which show the correlation between the effect of climate change on health issues like the respiratory system,[20] malaria transmission,[21] and increased risk of vector-borne disease.

Other factors like bad water and air quality, and malnutrition are other indirect effects that climate change has on people's health.

[25] In 2003 Indonesia ranked third among ASEAN nations in Southeast Asia, after Myanmar and Thailand, with a 0.1 percent adult prevalence rate, 130,000 HIV/AIDS cases, and 2,400 deaths.

The outbreak of highly pathogenic avian influenza (A/H5N1) in chickens and ducks in Indonesia was said to pose a significant threat to human health.

The government is targeting to rid the country of malaria by 2030 and elimination means to achieve less than 1 incidence per 1,000 people.

The mandatory vaccinations are: Tuberculosis (TB), Hepatitis B, Polio, DTP (diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis) and Measles.
