| Summary: | Indonesians have become healthier in
recent decades as confirmed by the progress on key health
indicators. Despite these advancements, significant
challenges remain in improving maternal health and nutrition
and in tackling persistent communicable diseases. As the
Indonesian population grows older, new challenges are
emerging. Regional and income-related inequalities in health
outcomes persist. The private sector can play an important
role in driving better health outcomes for all Indonesians.
There has been increased utilization of outpatient and
inpatient private sector health services by all Indonesians,
including the poor. Of course, increased private sector
involvement is not a panacea. The challenge is to manage
trade-offs between equity and efficiency, growth and access
to health, and private and public sector participation.
Considering these trade-offs, this report investigates the
opportunities and constraints to more and better private
sector participation in the Indonesian health services sector. |
