The Central Statistics Agency (BPS) recorded that in 2019, Papua had the lowest national percentage of villages with their own toilets at 43.07%. This means that most villages in Papua still use shared toilets and not individual toilets for defecation.
The provinces with the next lowest percentages were West Papua (46.58%), Maluku (71.21%), North Maluku (72.31%), and North Sumatra (75.05%). These five provinces were below the national average of 87.8%.
The lack of private toilets has a detrimental impact on personal and environmental health. Inadequate sanitation provides a breeding ground for various diseases, such as diarrhea. The Basic Health Research (Riskesdas) of the Ministry of Health reports that diarrhea accounts for 25.2% of child mortality and 31.4% of infant mortality in Indonesia.
