SEA Health Tech Investment Insights

Key Challenges in the Current Healthcare System include... High rate of illegal sales of prescription drugs Lowest rate of hospital beds per inhabitants in ASEAN countries Largest archipelago with more than 17,000 islands There are 5,000 estimated unlicensed drugstores, 90,000 informal outlets Monitoring and enforcement is the responsibility of the local government Indonesia offer 310,710 hospital beds, i.e. 1.17 beds per 1000 population. This rate is the lowest among ASEAN countries and is among the lowest in the world. The country also lacks appropriate physicians (1.3/10,000 inh.), nurses and midwives (8.3/10,000 inh.) coverage. The country needs 15x its current number of doctors to reach the level of OECD countries. This complex geographical structure is a challenge to offer consistent health services across the countries and a driver for telehealth growth Rising costs of healthcare for the gov. The nominal health spending has been steadily increasing in the last 8 years, by 222% overall (reported in 2017) be remains the lower of the SEA in terms of % of GDP Digital technologies can help Indonesia overcome their current issues Sources: WHO (The Republic of Indonesia - Health System Review), 2016.export.gov (Healthcarere Source Guide), Oliver Wyman (The future of the Indonesian healthcare system) INSEAD 30
