Indonesia remains one of the poorest countries in South East Asia. The country
lags behind in many areas of healthcare provision and the major recession
experienced in 1998 as a part of the Asian crisis still affects economic
prospects. The impact of the tsunami in 2004 has had a damaging effect on the
economy and to date, rebuilding efforts have been slow, despite international
aid, no thanks to bureaucracy and other problems
Government funding for healthcare is low, estimated at around $3.6 billion in
2006 and the country continues to rely on international aid. Despite the
present administration placing more emphasis on healthcare, funding,
insufficient number of health professionals and bureaucratic problems are
hampering development. There is a marked disparity in the standard of
healthcare between rural and urban areas. The capital city Jakarta enjoys
relatively good levels of primary care as well as a range of modern private
specialist facilities, while healthcare coverage in remote regions tends to be
insufficient. Many healthcare facilities, particularly in the Banda Aceh
region were destroyed during the tsunami in late 2004 and despite foreign aid,
rebuilding efforts have been slow, because of bureaucracy and other problems
The bulk of the Indonesian medical device market is supplied by imports.
Indonesia only produces a small number of low-tech medical items, such as
surgical gloves, bandages, orthopaedic aids and hospital furniture. However,
with the exception of 2000, the country has been a net exporter since the late
1990s. Prior to 1997, only Indonesian-owned companies were allowed to
undertake import/export activities, wholesaling or retailing. Overseas
companies are now allowed to engage in wholesaling activities, provided they
first obtain a licence. In 1998, this relaxation was extended to the retailing
of goods by foreign companies. It should be noted, however, that foreign
companies are not allowed to both distribute and retail their products.
Restrictions on the import and export of products still apply. Exports
continue to rise as domestic production increases, particularly contact lenses
which represent almost a quarter of the total, as well as electromedical
equipment and hearing aids which also feature heavily
The Indonesian medical device market was estimated to be worth US$121 million
in 2006, equivalent to US$0.5 per capita, the latter being one of the lowest
totals in the world
