Jakarta (VNA) - The Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Higher Education, Science, and Technology of Indonesia have established a joint committee to improve medical education as part of efforts to address major challenges in the national healthcare system.
In a statement on July 1, Minister of Health Budi Gunadi Sadikin highlighted that access, quality, and costs remain key issues in the system, but the most significant challenge is the availability and distribution of human resources across the country.
Through the joint committee, Sadikin said, the government fosters collaboration among government agencies, universities, and healthcare providers to develop data- and innovation-based solutions, as well as to review regulations that have hindered progress in the health sector.
In the same statement, Minister of Higher Education, Science, and Technology Brian Yuliarto stated that cross-sectoral collaboration is necessary to address the complex issues in the health sector.
He expressed his hope that the joint committee can initiate improvements in education, research, and the healthcare system as well as deliver tangible benefits to the people.
