Indonesia had a three-tiered system of community health
centers in the late 1990s, currently there are 1833 hospitals with 0.66
hospital beds per 1,000 population, the lowest rate among members of
the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). In the mid-1990s, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), there were 16 physicians per 100,000 population in Indonesia, 50 nurses per 100,000, and 26 midwives per 100,000. Among all of the 1833 hospitals in Indonesia, only 9 have been accredited by Joint Commission international (JCI). Both traditional and modern health practices are employed. Government health expenditures are about 3.7 percent of the gross domestic product (GDP). There is about a 75:25 percent ratio of public to private health-care expenditures.
Unsafe drinking water is a major cause of diarrhea, which is a major killer of young children in Indonesia.

An Overview of Indonesia’s Health Insurance Sector
As the wealth and purchasing power of
Indonesia’s middle class continues to grow, the demand for health
insurance from both individuals and corporations grows with it. While
insurance companies have traditionally focused more on life insurance,
the need for healthcare coverage for the middle income segment has been
highlighted as lifestyles have been subject to unprecedented change. In
the past, private health insurance was viewed as a luxury enjoyed by the
top tier income earners, yet greater awareness of health and the rise
of non communicable diseases in urban centres is seeing a change in this
attitude. Moreover, reform of the state healthcare system under Law
40/2004 concerning the National Social Security System has been slow to
make progress, making private coverage a necessity. Health insurance is
therefore a promising but challenging area of Indonesia’s burgeoning
insurance sector to be tapped into.
