President Prabowo Subianto highlighted the shortage of doctors in Indonesia. Prabowo stated that this shortage includes both general practitioners and specialist doctors.

In his speech at the MPR Annual Session, Prabowo aimed to address this shortage by opening 148 medical programs across 57 medical faculties in Indonesia this year, 2025.

Prabowo detailed that these 148 medical programs consist of 125 specialist programs and 23 sub-specialist programs.

"We will also add 25 general and dental programs, and increase the quota of medical students receiving scholarships," said Prabowo at the Parliament Complex, Senayan, Jakarta (15/8/2025).

Referring to data from the Indonesian Medical Council (KKI) compiled by Databoks as of April 24, 2024, there are 279,321 registered doctors in Indonesia.

Of this number, 174,407 (62.4%) are general practitioners.

Those registered as specialist doctors number 53,779 (19.3%), dentists 45,492 (16.3%), and specialist dentists 5,643 (2%).

The World Health Organization (WHO) has set a standard doctor-to-population ratio of 1:1,000.

Citing Indonesia.go.id, which quotes data from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS), Indonesia's population was 279.3 million as of March 2024. Following the WHO standard, in 2024, only 0.47 doctors were available per 1,000 people.
