Healthcare in Indonesia

[6] In 2010, an estimated 56% of Indonesians, mainly state employees, low-income earners, and those with private coverage had some form of health insurance.

The rate was expected to reach 100% by 2019, following the implementation of a system of universal social health insurance coverage that was launched in 2014.

[8] Healthcare provision in Indonesia has traditionally been fragmented, with private insurance being provided for those who can afford it alongside basic public coverage for the most impoverished in society and NGOs working in specialised areas providing services to those not covered by public or private schemes.

[9][needs update] Under JKN, all Indonesians will receive coverage for a range of treatments via health services from public providers as well as those private organisations that have opted to join the scheme.

However, the scheme has been criticised for being over-ambitious, a lack of competency in administration, and a failure to address the need for improving healthcare infrastructure in remote areas.

An official for the programme's administering organisation, the social security agency BPJS Kesehatan, has stated that JKN exceeded its target for enrolling members in its first year (registering 133.4 million members compared to a target of 121.6 million) and that, according to an independent survey, the customer satisfaction rate was 81%, awareness of JKN was 95%, and that complaints had been resolved within one and a half days on average.

[14][15][16] Eleven per cent of the country's population suffers from mental disorders,[17] with over 19 million of the people of age 15 or older.

Health wise, Indonesia has suffered numerous H5N1 outbreaks, with the highest number of recorded human cases of this virus in the world.

[19] Indonesia's mental health legislation has the same issues mentioned above that Southeast Asia faces as a region.

By doing so, Article 26 creates an impression that mentally ill individuals are generally considered dangerous to the community because they need to be forced into treatment.

Also, Article 27 states that the government would provide a presidential decree for regulations and management of mental health, yet nothing has been done.
