Only 5 Indonesian Hospitals Internationally Accredited: Minister


15.02.2012
Only 5 out of 1,800 hospitals existing in Indonesia are currently accredited internationally, and all five are privately owned, Health Minister Endang Rahayu Sedyaningsih said on Wednesday. 
 In remarks to open a congress and seminar of the Indonesian Professional Medical Recorders Association (Pormiki) on Wednesday, she said 65-66 percent of the 1,800 hospitals were nationally accredited and of the total number, one-third were privately owned.
 She said no public or state-owned hospital had so far been internationally accredited because they had not yet reached the required quality standards, including in medical record services.
