Documenting public health interventions with new technologies in rural Indonesia

Friday Okonofua

Abstract

The African Journal of Reproductive Health is pleased to publish these compendia of articles that originated from an international symposium on public health which took place in Surabaya, Indonesia in 2023 (ISoPH 2023). Indonesia, the world’s fourth largest country, with a population of 280 million people, has a robust healthcare system that comprises a mix of public and private providers’ financing. Of interest, is Indonesia’s approach to health promotion through the digitization of its health services resulting in the development of multiple health applications by the central government, regional governments, and the private sector. The uniqueness of the ISoPH symposium is its strategic focus on providing an understanding of the ways that various communities in Indonesia have been engaged and are involved in using digital technologies to promote health outcomes. This being one of the first such descriptions globally, it remains an essential approach that will help to draw similar innovations from other parts of the world.
