A total of 598 doctors have perished since the COVID-19 pandemic began in Indonesia (kompas.com, 28/7/2021). The deaths of these heroes of health is described as a loss and at the same time, a forewarning that the state will get bogged down in a protracted pandemic crisis.
Healthcare workers’ exhaustion and their exposure to COVID-19 are regarded as causing the high mortality rate among doctors. The country’s health services have collapsed. The number of doctors is no longer sufficient to meet the need for health services. Various solutions are being offered. The recruitment of prospective health personnel as a solution is also being carried out.
