MoMo Jakarta – May 20th – Mobile Healthcare in Indonesia
Posted on: May 15, 2013 – Filed under: Jakarta
Healthcare is definitely everyone’s concern. It is a big topic, and also a big portion of spending both in government, private sector, and in personal life. There’s so much happening in Indonesian healthcare…
Indonesia’s healthcare expenditure is predicted to reach US$60.6 billion in 2018 with a growth of 14.9 percent over the 2012-2018 period on account of faster growth in age groups above 35 years, urbanization and an increase of lifestyle-related diseases such as cancer and diabetes, says research and consulting firm Frost & Sullivan (Quoted from Jakarta Post).
There is also a survey from Edelman in collaboration with UGM in 2013 which found out that today’s healthcare professionals (HCPs) are turning to the Internet to empower patients with information while also using the Internet to strengthen their professional network.
And another hot topic for Indonesia is the implementation of Universal Health Coverage – Jamkesmas, starting from Jan 1, 2014!
As MobileMonday, we naturally ask, is there any opportunities for mobile in the healthcare ecosystem?
Some of our MoMo friends in Hamburg, Athens, Boston, Detroit, Dublin, and many others have posted the similar questions. And now it’s Jakarta’s time – let’s discuss.
