Celios: Potential Healthcare Costs for ARIs Linked to Forest and Land Fires Reach IDR 93 Trillion
- A Small
- A Medium
- A Bigger
The Center for Economic and Law Studies (Celios) conducted research on cases of acute respiratory infections (ARI) caused by forest and land fires (karhutla) that occurred in Indonesia in 2026.
They estimated that the number of people suffering from symptoms and diagnosed with ARI due to karhutla could reach 17.4 million.
Celios also calculated the health costs arising from this phenomenon, consisting of:
- Direct costs: Medical expenses such as hospitalization, doctor consultations, and medication.
- Indirect costs: Non-medical costs such as loss of income for patients and their companions due to being unable to engage in productive economic activities.
As a result, Celios estimated that the health costs of the population affected by ARI due to karhutla reached Rp93.56 trillion.
"These health costs consist of direct health costs of Rp69.48 trillion and indirect health costs of Rp24.08 trillion," said Celios in the report titled "Those Who Breathe Shortly and Pay for the Economic Losses of Forest Fires".
West Nusa Tenggara was the province with the greatest potential for health costs, reaching Rp19.01 trillion.
Here are the potential health costs of the population affected by ARI due to karhutla by region, according to Celios' calculations:
- West Nusa Tenggara: Rp19.01 trillion
- East Java (only districts within Bromo-Tengger-Semeru National Park): Rp13.65 trillion
- Riau: Rp10.31 trillion
- East Nusa Tenggara: Rp9.5 trillion
- West Kalimantan: Rp8.45 trillion
- South Kalimantan: Rp8.16 trillion
- Central Sulawesi: Rp7 trillion
- Central Papua: Rp6.19 trillion
- Central Kalimantan: Rp4.53 trillion
- Maluku: Rp2.61 trillion
- Riau Islands: Rp2.49 trillion
- South Papua: Rp1.67 trillion
