Transforming Healthcare: Indonesia’s NHI Success Story and Lessons for the World

By João L. Carapinha

July 25, 2023

We’re excited to share more about Indonesia’s NHI system! It’s incredible to see how they implemented universal healthcare and overcame unique challenges.

These insights are based on a recent interview by Alec Hogg and Ali Ghufron Mukti but through the lens of health economics and outcomes research, and access to medicines.

Of course, no system is perfect, and Indonesia’s NHI journey reminds us of the importance of constant vigilance to address challenges like funding and corruption issues.

Thank you for sharing these important lessons!
