Keywords:
Moratorium, Maldistribution, Shortage of doctorsAbstract
The 2024 Indonesian presidential candidate debate sharply highlighted the shortage of doctors which makes it difficult to resolve health problems in Indonesia. The standard used by the government is from WHO where 1 doctor for 1000 population. Even though the government itself, through Permenkumham No. 34 of 2016 has created its own standard with a ratio of 1:2500. The moratorium on the Faculty of Medicine was lifted to speed up the fulfillment of the number of doctors. One of the recommendations for lifting the moratorium is to build a medical faculty in an area that has a very wide ratio of doctors to residents. It turns out that many new medical faculties have been established on the islands of Java and Sumatra. Meanwhile, on the other hand, it is believed that the problem of maldistribution of doctors is the main problem and must be resolved first. The distribution of medical personnel according to data from the Ministry of Health still shows wide disparities between Java-Bali and outside the two islands. Responding to this problem, the government issued Circular Number HK.02.02/d/12012/2023 concerning Meeting the Needs of Medical Personnel in Hospitals. The conclusion reached was that to meet the needs of medical personnel in hospitals, the recruitment of medical personnel is within the hospital's authority without requiring recommendations. from other parties and supported by credentials from the medical committee. This means that the government's obligations are handed over in full to the hospitals which will definitely give rise to new problems, namely static distribution.
