DISASTER PREPAREDNESS SYSTEM IN INDONESIA(From Medical and Public Health perspectives)
Author :1. Susiana Nugraha, Jenderal A Yani School of health Sciences, Cimahi, Indonesia
2. Robby Nuraditya, Head of Quality and Monitoring Division, Central blood transfusion,
Indonesia Red Cross
Indonesia is located on the four tectonic moving plates and in the heart of the Pacific Ring of Fire, had
experienced several major emergencies from various hazards in its history and more evidently in the past
decade. Emergencies and disasters unpredictable as they are, pose a challenge to humanitarian actors toaddress needs in order to provide interventions in an effective and efficient manner. In all these events,
many lessons

had

been

drawn but

not

many

had

been

truly learnt.

Among these

improving coordination, writing out standard operating procedures, preparedness andlessons,

contingency

planning stand out(1).
Disaster management system in Indonesia is managed under the Ministry of health guideline, incollaboration with other ministries and national board for disaster preparedness. Rreferring to the Minister of
Health DecreeNumber 066 of 2006, healthhuman resource mobilizationincorporated in a TeamCrisis
Prevention team which includes:1) Quick Reaction Team, 2. Rapid Assessment Team (RHA Team), 3) Health
Assistance Team. Those team is leaded by the Head of the Health ServiceProvince / Regency / City
level.Through the experience of many disasters in Indonesia, the Ministry of Health has been better able toidentify the gaps in health services nationwide. One of the positive consequences of a natural disaster is thatit reveals the vulnerabilities of the public health system, especially at community level.
The Indonesian Ministry of Health requires each hospital in the country to have an emergency
department. In each region of the referral system in Indonesia, these emergency departments work incooperation with each other. The cooperation involves all hospitals (government, private and armed forces
hospitals) and is the basis for the emergency medical service system (2). When disaster strikes this basic
referral framework becomes the emergency medical service and the Crisis Centre is activated to mobilize andto coordinate all resources needed for disaster management(3).Indonesia's disaster management structure isbased on the referral system in the national health system. Disaster management starts with the affected
community, and then involves the community health center, the class C hospital, class B hospitals and class A
hospitals.The Ministry of Health of Indonesia has developed a crisis center which is the center of command,
control and coordination during the emergency phase of a disaster. The crisis center can dispatch a disastermanagement assistance team from two top referral hospitals in Jakarta and Surabaya to cope withdisasters(2).
Strengthening the routine daily emergency medical services for expanding the role in disastermanagement is considered both effective and efficient. The standard operating procedures and policy thatshould be prepared for facing disasters were not available in any of the Public Health Centers. If the daily
provision of health care is comprehensive and health care providers are well educated and trained, then at thetime of a disaster they will be better able to cope and care for their communities (2,4,5). They will also be able
to identify the gaps in resources required from other levels of the system. One of the greatest challenges for
the Ministry is to ensure an appropriate disaster management system which will utilize the emerging
12

community-based health programed as the focus for disaster relief.
Been learned from the west Sumatera earthquake, the public health centers (PHC’S) implemented adisaster response by themselves and there was no clear coordination between the PHCs, NGOs, and the local
government. The public health centers had not even thought about how the system will be built if disasterstruck. This indicated that the public health center were not ready to serve as health facilities in the face ofdisasters and that there had been no effort to implement disaster preparedness procedures. Having observed
several health centers, the need was identified to build the system, and support in doing so is required fromthe government and health organization policy (4)References :1.

Danica Aisa ORTIZ
Research Specialist, Philippine Institute for Development Studies (Philippines)“Strengthening Disaster Response in Health in the Philippines”
OutlineClimate change and natural disasters have gained the attention of the international community inrecent years. Their impacts worldwide have turned global efforts to focus on intensifying environmental
protection measures, strengthening disaster risk reduction management (DRRM), and increasing disaster
resilience. One primary concern is addressing health issues related to- and caused by disasters. Every year,
about 60,000 deaths have resulted from disasters, mostly in developing countries (WHO Fact Sheet, 2017).
The Second Global Conference on Health and Climate Change organized by World Health Organization in
July 2016 recognized the need to address health risks, and opportunities and organized support for healthand climate change action.
The Philippines is highly vulnerable to natural disasters and impacts of climate change due to its
geographical characteristics. It was identified as the second most disaster-prone among 171 countries in the2014 Global Climate Risk Index Report. The country is susceptible to extreme weather events andsubsequently places its people to direct and indirect health impacts including increased incidence of
infectious disease and heat stress (WHO, 2015).
Various measures have been done by the government to address disasters and environmental threats,
and related problems such as health risks. The Philippine Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Act of2010 is a key policy, which emphasizes the need for DRRM planning and the importance of institutionalframework and coordination mechanisms for disaster response. This law also highlights the significant roleand the need to strengthen capacities of local government units (LGUs) in disaster mitigation, response andrecovery. Specific LGUs have already set example on how local government and communities can work
together to effectively implement DRRM initiatives. The “Zero Casualty” program in Albay is a holistic
approach which covers disaster risks assessments, improvement in DRR management and governance, andcapacity-building and social preparations done in partnership with private institutions and non-profit
organizations.
In terms of health efforts, the Philippine Health Agenda 2017-2022 specifies goal to achieve quality
health care through improved service delivery network and health facilities all over the country. DOH has
also developed guidelines to ensure better health service delivery. Some of these guidelines include
enhancing management and organization of service delivery network to ensure effective referral system for
health care, designating health emergency management office in the localities, institutionalizing healthsurveillance system and logistics management during disasters and emergencies.
Despite various policies and programs, implementing an effective disaster response system remainsa challenge for the country. There is a need to improve coordination and harmonize functions among
government agencies during disasters, and to ensure efficient utilization of DRRM funds (Domingo &Olaguera 2017). In addition, human resource is another aspect that must be considered in terms of22

strengthening institutions and building capacities.
Thus, the presentation emphasizes the advantage of having programs and policy framework thatguide systems and establish mechanisms for effective and timely response on health risks during disasters.
However, it also raises issues that continue to challenge efforts in building and effective and timely healthresponse during disasters in the Philippines.

Sengchanh KOUNNAVONG
Vice Director, National Institute Of Public Health (Laos)The International Health Regulations (2005) (IHR) have been in force since 15 June 2007, ensuring thatnational, regional and international capacities are in place to manage public health events and emergencies ina collective, coordinated and effective manner. Therefore, Lao PDR as one of the World Health organization’s
member states and member of the ASEAN + 3 countries (APT) has been prepared the Global Health Security
Agenda Roadmap to enhancing health security, with a focus on strengthening resilience to threats such aspriority infectious diseases, emerging disease outbreaks and other emergencies with health consequences inparticular where possible, Lao PDR will actively support activities that enhance collaboration between
countries, such as joint missions and exchange of technical expertise through different mechanisms.
Ministry of Health, Lao PDR continue to maintain and improve IHR core capacities and work to obtain or
renew political commitment to enhance financial sustainability of those capacities; continue to review
preparedness and response systems to identify and address gaps in light of MERS, avian influenza and otherpublic health events; and continue to Test and evaluate functional capacities through strengthened
self-assessment systems, outbreak reviews, discussion-based and operations-based exercises.
Cross-sectoral collaboration is important when preparing for and responding to disease outbreaks and otherpublic health events. Some of the following desired impact are expected from the GHSA Roadmap for Lao
PDR:
Deployment: Countries will have the necessary legal and regulatory processes and logistical plans to allow
for the rapid cross-border deployment and receipt of public health and medical personnel during
emergencies. Regional (international) collaboration will assist countries in overcoming the legal, logistical andregulatory challenges to deployment of public health and medical personnel from one country to another.
Real Time Surveillance Systems: A functioning public health surveillance system will capable of identifying
potential events of concern for public health and health security, and country and intermediate level/regional
capacity to analyse and link data from and between strengthened real-time surveillance systems, includinginteroperable, interconnected electronic reporting systems. Countries will support the use of interoperable,interconnected systems capable of linking and integrating multi-sectoral surveillance data and using resulting
information to enhance the capacity to quickly detect and respond to developing biological threats.
Foundational capacity is necessary for both indicator-based (including syndromic) surveillance andevent-based surveillance, in order to support prevention and control activities and intervention targeting forboth established infectious diseases and new and emerging public health threats. Strong surveillance will
support the timely recognition of the emergence of relatively rare or previously undescribed pathogens in
specific countries.
Preparedness: Emergency response operation up to sub-national (local and intermediate) level during publichealth emergency is successfully conducted in line with the emergency response plan with adequate supportof resources and capacities.
Emergency Response Operations: Effective coordination and improved control of outbreaks as evidenced byshorter times from detection to response and smaller numbers of cases and deaths.

4. Appendix: Introductions to Co-sponsoring Organizations(1) The Council on East Asian Community (CEAC)
Inauguration
In 2003, the Network of East Asian Think-tanks (NEAT) and the East Asia Forum (EAF) were launched as track-2
epistemic communities in East Asia under the umbrella of ASEAN+3 (Japan, China and ROK) Summit. Being
triggered by this trend, The Council on East Asian Community (CEAC) was inaugurated in Japan on May 18,
2004. The establishment of CEAC was called for by think-tanks such as the Japan Forum on International
Relations (JFIR), the Japan Institute of International Affairs (JIIA), the Japan Center for International Finance(JCIF), and scholars such as ITO Kenichi, President of JFIR, TANAKA Akihiko, Professor of the University ofTokyo and YOSHITOMI Masaru, President & Chief Research Officer of the RIETI. The CEAC consists ofrepresentatives from wide-ranging fields in Japan who are interested in the concept of an "East Asian
Community," including those who represent businesses corporations such as Nippon Steel Corporation andToyota Motor Corporation, and government agencies such as the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of
Finance, the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, and the Ministry of Education. A forum for those who
represent industry, government, and academic circles to discuss an East Asian Community was inaugurated inJapan, whose attitude towards the issue tended to be passive until recently.
PurposeAs an all-Japan intellectual platform participated by business, government, and academic leaders, CEAC aims at
the strengthening of intellectual collaboration, the building of intellectual foundation, and the sharing ofstrategic ideas among them. CEAC is not designed to promote an "East Asian community" per se, but to study it.
This means that CEAC is not presumptive of any specific definition of an "East Asian community." There being
various views on the geographical scope of "East Asia" and the concrete structure of "community," CEAC
confines itself to the study of the implications of each of these views and to the pursuance of whatever kind ofstrategic responses Japan should choose.
Organization
The membership of CEAC consists of Think-tank members, Scholar members and Corporate members as oftoday. CEAC elected ITO Kenichi, Chairman of JFIR, as Chairman, and ISHIGAKI Yasuji, Trustee of JFIR as
President. The basic policy of the management of the Council is directed by the Caucus comprising its President
and vice-Presidents. CEAC is governed by its "Managing Plenary Meeting" and Managing Executive Meeting."
The "Policy Plenary Meeting," which is attended by the members of CEAC, conducts policy-debate among its
members, and produce policy recommendations as occasions demand. The secretariat of CEAC is housed within
JFIR. In external relations, CEAC supports JFIR, which is the Country Coordinator of Japan for track-2 NEAT
and the National Focal Point of track-1.5 EAF under the ASEAN+3 (Japan, China and ROK) Summit.
Activities
The activities of CEAC consist of the following four pillars: (1) research and policy recommendation, (2) affairs
related to NEAT and EAF, (3) public debate, and (4) public relations and enlightenment. All these activities arehighly synchronized with each other. CEAC is at the frontline of the various regional activities related to theconcept of an "East Asia Community." It thus aims at integrating different opinions in Japan on the said concept
and at presenting policy recommendations on what stance and strategy Japan should be taken.

global standards was implemented with an advanced curriculum. IUHW provides medical education with a rich sense ofinternationality and aims to nurture professionals with comprehensive medical care skills, capable of successfully engaging inboth regional and international medical cooperation with other Asian countries in particular.
A society where everyone, whether abled or disabled, can join hands to “build a society for mutual respect andsupport” is our founding principle. Our goal is to foster medical professionals who can execute “Team care medicine” under
three basic principles, “university focused on well-balanced individuals with a solid sense of humanity,” “university strongly
connected to and fully open to the community” and “university directed towards the attainment of global standards,” alongwith seven educational principles.
Not only do we provide our students with plenty of training facilities, but we also have authorities in various fields
serving as our faculty members. We have many clinical research centers, giving students many opportunities to practice theirstudy. The Ohtawara Campus houses the Support Facility for Persons with Disabilities, a rehabilitation facility, the only shortterm treatment facility for emotionally disturbed children in Tochigi Prefecture, a university clinic with one of Asia’s best
speech-hearing center and five other facilities, providing many opportunities for students to interact with elderly and disabled
people, a feature of our university.
IUHW proudly announces a 100% employment rate for our graduates every year in times where more and more
people are seeking jobs. This is all due to the top-class national examination pass rates and the highly-evaluated education of
our graduates. Over 21,000 students have graduated and are leading professionals in their specialties.
