Equity is incorporated in the policy by upholding the national law on health, which ensures that all people have equal access to healthcare, as the national dementia plan operates within the universal healthcare system. The strategic plan emphasises the availability of standardized care for all older people across healthcare facilities. This includes public access to screening, diagnosis, and treatment. In addition, rights of the workforce alongside with patients’ rights are mentioned (Ministry of Health Republic of Indonesia, 2015b).
