Nurses and other healthcare workers are on the front lines treating patients infected with the coronavirus (Covid-19). However, public reaction to healthcare workers handling Covid-19 has not always been positive.
The Indonesian National Nurses Association (PPNI) revealed that some doctors and nurses in East Jakarta have been rejected by residents out of fear of infection. These medical personnel have now been provided with accommodation.
The number of nurses in Indonesia in 2019 reached 345,508. The highest concentration is on Java Island: 48,164 in East Java, 45,107 in Central Java, 35,747 in West Java, and 26,950 in Jakarta. The lowest concentrations are in West Sulawesi with 1,550, North Kalimantan with 1,587, and North Maluku with 2,062.
