Indonesia's Healthcare Landscape:
Current Trends and Future Prospects

The healthcare industry in Indonesia has experienced significant shifts and opportunities in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. Private health care is on the rise, with an increase in the number of private hospitals, accounting for a substantial portion of public hospital services. Health insurance is also growing, providing more financial support for health care costs. Technology adoption, particularly in telemedicine, is becoming increasingly popular, improving patient access and service efficiency.
Unlocking the Future of Health Care in Indonesia

Pharmacy

The pharmacy sector offers various services, including prescription dispensing, medication supply, and health and wellness advice.

Hospitals

Hospitals in Indonesia are categorized as Public and Private, with public hospitals being managed by various government entities, while private hospitals dominate the industry.

Medical Devices

Indonesians are increasingly recognizing the importance of medical equipment in their health and well-being.

Health Technology

Health tech addresses the need for easy access to health services, especially in regions with uneven distribution of healthcare resources across Indonesia.

Challenges
  1. High healthcare costs, especially for those without insurance.

  2. Inequitable distribution of health care resources, leading to unequal access to quality services.

  3. Varied quality of care in different facilities.

  4. Shortage of skilled health workers, especially specialists.

Growth Prospects
 

Telemedicine Practices 

 Indonesia has embraced telemedicine, allowing licensed professionals to offer medical services directly to the public. This shift aims to enhance operational efficiency and resource management.

Overseas Graduate and Foreign Professionals

Indonesia is streamlining the licensing process for foreign medical professionals to address healthcare worker shortages and reduce overseas medical treatments.

Competitiveness in the Health Industry

Indonesia seeks to enhance healthcare competitiveness, addressing public perceptions and high costs while improving services and infrastructure to meet growing health awareness.

Mergers and acquisitions in Indonesia's healthcare sector, led by hospitals and pharmaceutical companies for market expansion, along with consolidations in health tech, particularly in the APAC region, are driving growth amid the ongoing healthcare transformation.
