Description
In Indonesia, tackling Tuberculosis (TB) has become a major focus for the government and international organizations. The ambitious End TB Strategy sets targets of reducing TB deaths by 90% by 2030 and TB incidence by 80% by 2035 compared to 2015 data. However, 2019 WHO data shows that Indonesia is still among the 30 countries with the highest TB burden in the world. TB incidence in 2018 reached 316 per 100,000 population, with around 845,000 recorded cases, while deaths reached around 93,000 cases.
Efforts to tackle TB not only focus on numbers, but also on vulnerable groups such as productive age, the elderly, and gender differences. In this engagement, decentralization of services is the main focus to ensure access to all levels of society, including in remote areas. The Ministry of Health has formulated a roadmap for TB elimination by 2030 utilizing epidemiological models as a guide to achieve this goal.
The TB control program is supported by the Global Fund and RSSH Innovating Fund, which are important pillars for services in 514 districts and 229 high TB burden districts. Collaboration with the private sector is also emphasized in efforts to expand services, especially through the PPM program in 81 priority cities and districts. Collaboration with key recipients such as the Ministry of Health and the Penabulu-STPI Community Consortium is integral to the implementation of this program.
The IDN-T-PBSTPI grant program, which focuses on contact investigation, preventive therapy, community education, and support for vulnerable TB patients, is a concrete step in maintaining commitment to TB elimination. It is hoped that, through these comprehensive measures, Indonesia can direct its efforts towards TB elimination more effectively in the next few years.
