Summary: | Indonesia, a low-middle income country
of around 242 million people, has made impressive gains in
health over the past few decades, notably in increased life
expectancy and reduced infant and child mortality rates.
There has been less progress in improving maternal mortality
and malnutrition. Inequities among geographic areas and
income levels are large, presenting a major challenge to the
health care system. Demographic and epidemiological
transitions have affected the disease burden:
disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) due to
cerebrovascular disease, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes,
and lung cancer have increased by 80 percent or more during
1990 2010. The central government has committed to achieving
universal health coverage (UHC) by 2019 as projected in the
Road Map of the Jaminan Kesehatan Nasional (JKN), or
National Health Insurance Program, 2012-2019. |
