Emergency medicine care system in Indonesia, a country with remarkable economic growth

【Summary of the article written by Dr. Iwamoto】
Indonesia's population is increasing by millions each year, and the acceleration of its economic growth is also remarkable. On the other hand, it is said that 70% of the deceased in the country pass away even before reaching a hospital to receive the medical care. The country's pre-hospital system is still in its early stages.
Public Safety Centers (PSC) have been established since 2014 as a part of national policy for the purpose of improving the quality of care in emergency medicine and reducing the mortality rate of the victims by traffic accidents. PSCs comprise ambulances, medical practitioners (mainly nurses), and operators in the local center. By the end of 2022, approximately 350 facilities had been set up nationwide, and the ultimate goal is to have 514 facilities in operation by the end of 2024. However, what PSC is and does is not well-known among the Indonesian people yet. According to the survey held in the emergency departments in five hospitals in Jakarta, more than 75% did not even know how to call an ambulance.
Thus Indonesia has a possibility to develop a very different system of emergency medicine from Japan given the low-level awareness and usage of public ambulance service and rapid emergence of alternative means of transportation including ride-sharing services.
