Addressing health care in indonesia
With 44% of children suffering from stunted growth, healthcare continues to be a problem for Indonesia. For every 30,000 people in Indonesia there is only one public health centre. This shows that Indonesia spends relatively little on health services. It is estimated that the total expenditure on health per capita in the year 2003 was $33. The role nongovernmental organizations have in Indonesia has been drastically growing during the past two decades. Project HOPE is a program that works in Indonesia and provides this nation with professional medical training including pediatric critical care/intensive care nursing certification. HOPE responded quickly to the disaster of 2004 by sending more than 200 medical volunteers to help in the aftermath and providing Indonesia with imperative medical supplies and medicines for the people injured. Once again HOPE responded to the earthquake that hit Central Java in 2006 by traveling to remote areas without access to medical attention. Not only that, HOPE has reconstructed shattered healthcare clinics. Today, project HOPE continues to help improve the healthcare of Indonesia today by supplying women and children with visits from medical volunteers participating in humanitarian missions.
