Some mothers accompanying their children that are being treated in the Indonesia Protestant Church hall in Papua, Agats, Asmat regency, Papua, Friday (19/1/2017). As many as 13 inpatient children patients that are suffering malnutrition have had to be moved to the emergency room of the Agats General Hospital to the Indonesian Protestant Church in Papua, Asmat regency, because the hospital was full.

Indonesia has joined the ranks of countries with high human development in the fields of health, access to education and a decent standard of living.

In the 2019 United Nations Development Program (UNDP) report, Indonesia ranked 111th out of 189 countries with a Human Development Index (IPM) value of 0.707. However, until now the problem of pneumonia in children has not been resolved. The United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) estimated that in 2018 there were 19,000 children under 5 years of age (toddlers) who died from acute pneumonia in Indonesia. Meanwhile, pneumonia has killed more than 800,000 children under 5 every year around the world.
