According to data from the Indonesian Medical Council (KKI), as of April 24, 2024, there were 279,321 registered doctors in Indonesia.

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

Registered specialists numbered 53,779 (19.3%), dentists 45,492 (16.3%), and specialist dentists 5,643 (2%).

Combining specialists and specialist dentists, the total reaches 59,422, equivalent to 21% of all nationally registered doctors.

President Jokowi stated that this number is still insufficient, leading many Indonesians to seek medical treatment abroad.

"Over one million of our citizens seek medical treatment overseas, in Malaysia, Singapore, Japan, Korea, Europe, and America, resulting in a loss of US$11.5 billion, or Rp 180 trillion," Jokowi said, as reported by *Katadata* on Thursday, April 25, 2024.

"Indeed, our biggest problem is the shortage of doctors and specialists. This is a major issue for us," he added.

To address this, Jokowi announced that the government will issue a national health master plan by August 2024 at the latest.

This master plan will guide the government and the private sector in developing the health sector, including specialist medical education.
