Emigration of health professionals has doubled between 2011 and 2013 to more than 5,600 across professions. This suggests that migration does affect the availability of healthcare workers in Indonesia, given that the number of healthcare workers across the population, and particularly in remote, rural parts or the country are already very low (Pusat Data dan Informasi Kementerian Kesehatan RI, 2014).
