- Upcoming discussions will be held as to whether the Draft Bill on Health ("Draft Bill") will be drafted through the application of the omnibus law method. Moreover, the government and the Indonesian House of Representatives (Dewan Perwakilan Rakyat – "DPR") is set to deliberate the Law on Health in the near future.
- The Draft Bill will contain a broad range of provisions that cover various health-related matters, including individual health, public health efforts and mother and child health, as well as the health of elderly and teenage citizens. Furthermore, the Draft Bill is also set to include a number of provisions that will specifically address health efforts for persons with disabilities, nutritional quality, dentistry, organ transplants, healthcare devices, mental health and the mitigation of infectious and non-infectious diseases, as well as many other areas.
- The Draft Bill is expected to focus on opportunities that relate to the utilization of information and communication technologies during the provision of healthcare facilities, which may take the form of non-clinical and clinical telemedicine initiatives. Furthermore, the Draft Bill will mandate that central and regional governments ensure access to primary and reference healthcare facilities across all regions of Indonesia. It is also expected that relevant officials will not only be able to develop adequate healthcare facilities but to also build human resource capacities and provide facilities and infrastructure capable of supporting the provision of high-quality healthcare services.
