Our National Health

An increase in life expectancy in the span of 30 years is actually a reasonable achievement. What seems to be beyond rationality is why stunting remains an insurmountable problem.

The November 2022 issue of TheLancet journal published Indonesia's national health report, which provides an overview of Indonesia's health over the past 30 years and its capacity to meet the United Nations' (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

The report, titled "The State of Health in Indonesia's Provinces, 1990-2019: A Systematic Analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019”, was compiled by the GBD 2019 Indonesia Subnational Collaborators. It was prepared by a team involving dozens of researchers, including former Health minister Nafsiah Mboi (2012-2014).
