Indonesian Health Minister Budi Gunadi Sadikin has emphasized that investments in the health sector play a pivotal role in driving economic development in the ASEAN region.
"There are two essential aspects of health investment that have the potential to shape the future, not only for Indonesia but also the ASEAN region," he said in a statement released on Tuesday.
The first aspect underscores the importance of investing in community health to tap into Indonesia's demographic dividend, he added.
He pointed out that substantial investment in the health sector can increase productivity and push gross domestic product (GDP) growth to its peak.
"In the long term, this will trigger a positive domino effect, leading to increased income for investors and the industry," he noted.
He highlighted that failure to take advantage of the demographic dividend will keep Indonesia a middle-income country.
