Health Minister Budi Gunadi Sadikin revealed that Indonesia's doctor-to-population ratio is below the World Health Organization (WHO) standard of one doctor per 1,000 people.

"Currently, Indonesia needs around 270,000 doctors, while we only have 140,000. This means we are short by 130,000 doctors," said Minister Budi in a press release on Tuesday (July 12, 2022).

According to Minister Budi, Indonesia currently produces only 12,000 medical graduates annually. Therefore, without significant changes, the doctor shortage will not be resolved for at least 10 years.

To address this, the Ministry of Health (Kemenkes) is collaborating with the Ministry of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology (Kemendikbudristek) to accelerate the fulfillment of Indonesia's doctor needs.

This collaboration was formalized through the signing of a Joint Decree (SKB) on increasing quotas for medical undergraduate and specialist doctor programs, and adding specialist doctor study programs through the Academic Health System on Tuesday (July 12, 2022).

"One of the strategies agreed upon in the implementation of this system includes increasing the quota for the admission of medical undergraduate and specialist doctor students and adding specialist doctor study programs, in accordance with the priority needs of the Ministry of Health. This is the basic principle of this transformation," explained Minister of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology Nadiem Makarim in a press release on Tuesday (July 12, 2022).

The Ministry of Health and Kemendikbudristek also committed to accelerating the fulfillment of lecturer needs in teaching hospitals through several initiatives, such as proposing Special Lecturer Identification Numbers (NIDK) in the field of medicine, providing assignments and technical guidance for universities, allocating LPDP scholarships, strengthening the student selection system, and ensuring the quality of medical graduates through competency tests.
