What would Indonesia need to change to score higher?
Indonesia sits in Mixed (45 to 64); Strong starts at 65. The two rights furthest below the 65-country median, weighted, are privacy and security (38, median 55) and patient control and consent (42, median 52). The published rubric reads:
- Privacy and security: Health-sector enforcement on the record: an independent regulator deciding health-data cases, breach notification and penalties applied.
- Patient control and consent: An opt-out or opt-in, a patient-visible access log and granular choices together put control at 60 to 80.
