Top 10 Regencies/Cities with the Highest National Inpatient Utilization (Tuesday, February 7, 2023)

The Ministry of Health (Kemenkes) recorded 37 regencies/cities with weekly hospital inpatient use above the national average, currently recorded at 0.42 patients per 100,000 population/week (data as of Tuesday, February 7, 2023).

The five regencies/cities with the highest inpatient use, exceeding 1.14 patients per 100,000 population/week, are Blitar City, Kupang City, Central Jakarta City, Cimahi City, and Palembang City, with respective values of 4.12 patients per 100,000 population/week, 1.87 patients per 100,000 population/week, 1.31 patients per 100,000 population/week, 1.3 patients per 100,000 population/week, and 1.14 patients per 100,000 population/week, respectively.

A national Covid data recapitulation from the Ministry of Health shows that inpatient use in most regencies/cities outside Java has decreased. Higher-than-previous daily inpatient use was recorded in two regencies/cities, while three regencies/cities recorded lower inpatient use.

Areas outside Java with the highest inpatient use include Kupang City, Palembang City, and East Sumba, with inpatient use of 1.87 patients per 100,000 population/week, 1.14 patients per 100,000 population/week, and 1.11 patients per 100,000 population/week, respectively.

Although Covid-19 transmission has decreased in some areas, the government urges everyone to help reduce Covid-19 transmission by consistently wearing masks, maintaining distance, and frequently washing hands with soap and running water. Avoiding crowds and reducing mobility also contribute to suppressing the spread of the coronavirus.
