Compared with infectious diseases, non-communicable diseases due to lifestyle requires lifelong treatment.
According to Hannah Nawi, Associate Director of Healthcare Practice Frost & Sullivan Asia Pacific, disease "lifestyle" such as cancer or stroke requiring lifelong care. "Treatment of" lifestyle "can not be cured once treated immediately, but gradually a lifetime," he said in a Media Briefing entitled "Health Industry Predictions Indonesia 2013" in Jakarta some time ago.
Through the Social Security System, the cost of treatment will be borne by the government, especially for people who can not afford the premiums. "Then of course the addition of sufferers 'lifestyle' will burden health care costs borne by the government," he said.
Chairman of Indonesia Sutoto Hospital Association said hospitals should not see Social Security as a threat, but an opportunity. "With Social Security, 8.5 million poor people who previously had no access so facilitated and premiums paid by the government," he said.
In addition to changing the focus to a more healthy lifestyle to reduce the burden of the cost of government, Sutoto said health improvements are also necessary. Indonesia has a ratio of 3 doctors versus 10,000 patients. As for Malaysia 9 physicians versus 10,000 patients.
"By increasing the number of doctors and hospitals to provide treatment more cost effective and efficient, Social Security will run well," he said.
