Indonesian Government Targets Increase in Life Expectancy to 76 Years
The Minister of Health of the Republic of Indonesia, Budi Gunadi Sadikin, recently emphasized the importance of partnerships in the health sector. According to him, every collaboration undertaken must provide a tangible impact for the wider community in the country.
The Indonesian government currently has an ambitious target to increase the public's life expectancy. The target is to raise life expectancy from 72 years to 76 years in the coming period.
In addition to focusing on life duration, the government is also striving to improve the quality of life for the public. This includes increasing healthy life expectancy so that the Indonesian population not only lives longer but also remains fit and productive.
To achieve this goal, the Ministry of Health continues to encourage collaboration with various parties, both from the private sector and international institutions. These partnerships are expected to strengthen the national health system and accelerate access to quality medical services for all Indonesian people.
This step is part of the government's long-term strategy to build superior human resources. With better health, it is hoped that the community can contribute more maximally to economic and social development in Indonesia.
