The Ministry of Industry (Kemenperin) noted that the export of national medical devices (alkes) in 2024 will reach a value of 273 million US dollars (Rp4.6 trillion).
This number has increased transactions of domestic medical devices in e-catalog to reach 48 percent.
Director of the Ministry of Industry's Agricultural Machinery and Machinery Industry Solehan said the Indonesian medical equipment industry is ready to advance because this imaging technology is equipped with artificial intelligence (AI) to support more precision data collection, thus supporting work efficiency and diagnosis accuracy.
Solehan said the National Industrial System (SINAS) data shows that currently there are 393 medical equipment companies registered in the Indonesian Business Field Standard Classification (KBLI).
Then, the TKDN (Domestic Component Level) certificate recapitulation data shows that 2,505 TKDN certificates are issued and are still valid for medical device products.
"Among other things, hospital bed products, hospital beds, ladies and gentlemen. Injection equipment, syringes, tensimeters, electromedicals, ventilators, and so on with TKDN values ranging from 16.45 percent to 92.22 percent." said Solehan as reported by ANTARA, Wednesday, April 23.
According to him, when Indonesia is able to create medium to high technology, such as in ultrasound products that use AI, foreign parties will be interested in investing and developing medical devices in Indonesia.
Solehan assessed that when it comes to medical devices, it is not only about industrial products, but also national health, about the independence of the nation and about the ability of the industry to answer the needs of its own people.
