保健省:ジャカルタ、バリ、バンテン、ジャティム、西ジャワ・フリー・マラリア
BALIKPAPAN - Director General of Disease Prevention and Control of the Indonesian Ministry of Health (Kemenkes) Maxi Rein Rondonuwu, explained that five provinces in Indonesia have been free from malaria, namely DKI Jakarta, Bali, Banten, East Java and West Java.
"We hope that all stakeholders, especially the leadership of regents and mayors and governors, will mobilize all potential and cross-sectors to create malaria electrification areas," he said as quoted by ANTARA, Thursday, June 15.
In general, the spread of malaria in Indonesia is still high, especially in the eastern region. As many as 80 percent of cases of extraordinary malaria (KLB) were donated from provinces in the eastern region.
The central government is committed to reducing the spread of malaria, this is in line with the global commitment (SDGs) that all countries must be free from diseases caused by the bite of female anopheles mosquitoes or the 2030 Malaria Elemination target.
"Well, how are we in Indonesia?. I said don't wait for 2030, and we really appreciate East Kalimantan's commitment to the 2026 elemination. This is an extraordinary and very rational spirit, because there are only four districts left," said Maxi Rein Rondonuwu.
