Tuberculosis Care and Treatment in the Republic of Indonesia
Indonesia is the second-highest in the world for tuberculosis (TB) incidents. Currently, it’s estimated that there are around one million cases of tuberculosis in the country every year. Sadly, Indonesia experiences 134 000 deaths due to tuberculosis annually.
Budi Gunadi Sadikin, Minister of Health, and Dr. Erlina Burhan, a pulmonologist at Persahabatan General Hospital, Jakarta, and Prof. Respiratory Medicine at the University of Indonesia, discuss tuberculosis care and treatment in the Republic of Indonesia and how accessibility to molecular diagnostics is opening the doors for detection and surveillance.

Budi Gunadi Sadikin:
Indonesia is the second highest in the world for TB incident. Currently, we have around 1 million estimations of tuberculosis patients in the country. Every year, Indonesia has 134 000 death of tuberculosis. I want to leave a legacy, at least my children will not see this problem, and the children of our children will forget about tuberculosis.
Erlina Burhan:
My name is Erlina Burhan. I'm a pulmonologist at Persahabatan Hospital, Jakarta. 1060 000 new cases per year in Indonesia. There is a big number and we have to find them. We have to find every one of them, treat them until cured, and we need everyone's help.
Budi Gunadi Sadikin:
Tuberculosis cannot be solved with our ministry alone. We have to involve all stakeholders so we can solve it together. And Global Fund is one of our key partners because they're contributing hundreds of millions of fund for eliminating tuberculosis in Indonesia by 2030.
Erlina Burhan:
It's six years to go. So we have to have this good collaboration, good partnership. Say goodbye to business as usual, we have to do things differently.
Budi Gunadi Sadikin:
The first thing that I asked my team to do is let's concentrate on notification first. Let's find these people because if we cannot find these people, these people will spread the tuberculosis around. So the detections and surveillance is my key priority in the last one and a half year.
We increased the facility, including our TCA machines, up to 2340 across primary care clinics and also private hospitals. We are assessing the possibility to utilizing our 1000 PCO labs, which is existing, is available, and develop a reagent also to increase the capacity of screening and testing this pathogen.
Erlina Burhan:
Rapid molecular testing is really helping the staff and also the patient. Recently, we achieved modern 800 000 notifications for new cases, which is really good. So it's like 78%. We never achieved this, so this is a really good progress.
Budi Gunadi Sadikin:
We should approach how to eliminate TB as a movement, the worst disease that we have ever seen in the world. So it is our noble objective to eliminate TB by 2030.
