The 38th Indonesia Update
In sickness and in health: diagnosing Indonesia
15-17 September
Although Indonesia has made significant improvements on many health outcomes over the last six decades, several key indicators have been disappointing compared to those of other countries at a similar stage of economic development, even before the COVID-19 pandemic. The conference will examine the extent to which Indonesia’s health system has succeeded in dealing with the many challenges it faces and, more importantly, what Indonesia needs to do to ensure faster progress. In addition, it will address other crucial questions such as those related to nutrition and epidemiological transitions, and the attempt to offset the degree to which income inequality results in unequal access to health care.

The Indonesia Update was attended by 785 Zoom participants from Indonesia, Australia, Canada, Germany, United States, United Kingdom, India, China, South Korea and many other countries. The videos on YouTube have over 2500 views to date.
We received 961 registrations in total, of which 54 per cent are female participants and 22 per cent are students. Most participants came from universities, followed with government agencies (including many embassies), non-government organisations and think tanks and the private sectors.
The Australia-Indonesia Youth Association (AIYA) ACT Chapter held an international book giveaway competition to promote the Indonesia Update. To enter, they asked participants what Indonesia Update topics they would like to suggest for next year. We would like to thank AIYA for their supports and congratulations to the winners.
