As the 4th most populous country in the world with a population of 270 million, Indonesia has a big and long homework to do to improve the health of its people. This important need is being taken seriously by the government by including the construction of complete and quality hospitals in every district/city in the “Quick Win” program initiated by the president which is also included in the national strategic project.

It is very appropriate if what is planned is a complete and quality hospital, because even though there is a hospital classification, inequality in access and quality of health services is still a major challenge. Until 2023, this country still lacks around 30 thousand specialist doctors, equal distribution of medical devices, and operational support for health workers. This inequality makes it difficult to detect diseases as early as possible and if it has to be treated immediately, we will be racing against a person’s critical period. It is not surprising that our country is also struggling to deal with 3 critical diseases that cause the highest death rates that are closely related to time, namely stroke, heart disease, and cancer. Not only that, we are currently ranked second in the world for tuberculosis cases. These challenges must be resolved together.

Indonesia Medical Expo (INDOMEDEX), is here with the noble goal as the right place for the government, stakeholders, industry players, and the Indonesian people in the health and medical device sector to present the best solutions and needs needed by all parties. Together, we will accelerate medical technology innovation, bridge the gap in health infrastructure, strengthen digital health services, and improve the quality of medical personnel for the sake of better health quality for all Indonesian people.
