OVERVIEW
As one of the most populous countries in the world, Indonesia must ensure health standards for all of its citizens. This applies not only to citizens of “productive age” who contribute to economic development, but also new born babies that are the future of the nation. There are approximately 4.5 million babies born every year in Indonesia.[1]
In addition to new born babies, Indonesia must also ensure health standards for toddlers (children between the ages of 1-3 years old). Based on data from the National Population and Family Planning Agency (BKKBN), the number of toddlers in Indonesia reached about 31.8 million in 2012. This figure represents more than 12% of the total population of Indonesia.
