Coba jelasin Karier dari Christian Suharlim dong

His health policy career began in 2011, when Suharlim served as a physician in the rural area of Panguragan, Indonesia. While there, he led two projects which addressed the health needs of two communities. By revitalizing a long-neglected disaster management program, Suharlim successfully prepared Panguragan region (population: 52,537) for the heavy flood of January 2012. As a result, 960 victims were quickly relocated to a centralized shelter where trained medical personnel were ready to address their health problems. Also, by analyzing Panguragan's tuberculosis and leprosy program implementation, Suharlim found that local public health officers were not screening households for active cases according to Indonesia's national healthcare guideline. He re-allocated financial incentives to be received after officers conducted their household contact screening rather than before, and raised the case-finding rate by 30%, increasing the number of patients treated and reducing the rate of disease transmission.

In 2012, he served as an officer for the Directorate of Health Care, Ministry of Health (Indonesia), where he gained a deeper understanding of Indonesia’s healthcare system. During his work, he co-authored eight national guidelines, and was a member of POKJA BPJS, the ministerial task force in charge of designing referral system for SJSN, Indonesia’s single payer system launched in 2014. Dr. Suharlim also served as a research manager at Reiki & Ling-Chi Foundation, Indonesia; evaluating the effectiveness of the Reiki method of alternative healing.

Currently in the United States, his research include investigating cost-effectiveness of DOT-HAART for HIV patients in Lima, Peru; evaluating the cost of immunization programs in resource-poor settings, and developing a global landscape on the use of CER in developing countries. Additionally, since 2013 he has been working in collaboration with Universitas Andalas to implement MDR-TB diagnosis improvement in West Sumatra, Indonesia.
