UNAIR NEWS<\/strong> \u2013 The Indonesian government has announced plans to permit foreign hospitals to operate within the country, following a statement made by President Prabowo last week. The policy has sparked mixed reactions, with both support and criticism emerging from the public. In response, Dr. Djazuly Chalidyanto, SKM, MARS, a lecturer at Universitas Airlangga<\/a>\u2019s Faculty of Public Health, shared his perspective.<\/p>\n\n

Dr. Chalidyanto argued that the policy is not immediately necessary, especially given Indonesia\u2019s existing public health issues. He pointed to maternal and infant mortality, HIV, tuberculosis, stunting, and other pressing health concerns that demand urgent attention. Rather than expanding the number of hospitals by allowing foreign entities to enter, he suggested the government should prioritize resolving these ongoing problems. <\/p>\n\n

\u201cAccording to the World Health Organization\u2019s recommended ratio of hospital beds, Indonesia has already met the required standard. What we really need to address is the uneven distribution of hospitals. The government should focus on ensuring hospital access in remote areas rather than merely increasing the overall number,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n\n

Strengthening hospital services<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n

Dr. Chalidyanto emphasized the need to improve the quality of healthcare services in existing hospitals. While Indonesia may have an adequate number of facilities, many are unable to deliver optimal care due to shortages in medical personnel and essential equipment. <\/p>\n\n

\u201cOften in the field, we find hospitals that exist physically but fall short in meeting service standards. Oversight and regulation need to be strengthened. Patient safety, in particular, is a critical issue that must be addressed more seriously in hospital operations,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n

Potential role of foreign hospitals<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n

Dr. Chalidyanto acknowledged that foreign hospitals could play a valuable role, particularly in regions with limited access to healthcare. However, he stressed that any such institutions must adhere to Indonesia\u2019s healthcare service standards. If foreign hospitals can provide superior care, their presence could bring broad benefits to the public.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cIn addition, local conditions must be considered in developing these facilities. Community needs, service quality, and patient safety should be the top priorities\u2014rather than profit maximization,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n\n

He expressed hope that the presence of foreign hospitals would improve the quality of healthcare services and elevate national health standards. Still, he stressed that strong regulatory enforcement is necessary to ensure compliance with Indonesian laws and prevent any misuse of the policy.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cAs long as foreign hospitals operate within Indonesia\u2019s legal and regulatory frameworks, they should not threaten local healthcare workers. In fact, their presence could drive healthy competition and ultimately improve the quality of hospital services nationwide,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n\n
