There has not been dementia-specific legislation at the national level. However, there are a number of legislations that support older people’s health and welfare in general:

• Constitution No. 13/1998 on Older People’s Welfare (Undang-Undang Republik Indonesia No. 13 Tahun 1998 Tentang Kesejahteraan Lanjut Usia (Constitution of Republic of Indonesia No. 13/1998 on Older People’s Welfare), 1998)
• Constitution No. 39/1999 on Human Rights (UU No. 39/1999 Tentang Hak Asasi Manusia (Law No. 39/1999 on Human Rights), 1999)
• Constitution No. 11/2009 on Social Welfare (Undang-Undang Republik Indonesia No. 11 Tahun 2009 Tentang Kesejahteraan Sosial (Constitution of Republic of Indonesia No. 11/2009 on People’s Welfare), 2009)
• Constitution No. 36/2009 on Health (Regulation No. 36/2009 on Health (UU No. 36/2009 Tentang Kesehatan), 2009).

The Ministry of Health also issued several regulations on healthcare:

• Ministry of Health Regulation No. 75/2014 on Community Health Centre (Primary Care) (Ministry of Health Republic of Indonesia, 2014)
• Ministry of Health Regulation No. 79/2014 on Geriatric Care in Hospital (Ministry of Health Regulation No. 79/2014 on Geriatric Services in Hospitals (Permenkes No. 79/2014 Tentang Pelayanan Geriatri Di RS), 2014)
• Ministry of Health Regulation No. 67/2015 on Healthcare of Older People in Community Health Centre (Ministry of Health Republic of Indonesia, 2015a)
• Ministry of Health Regulation No. 25/2016 on National Strategy on Older People’s Health 2016-2019 (Ministry of Health Regulation No. 25/2016 on National Action Plan on Older People’s Health (Permenkes No. 25/2016 Tentang Rencana Aksi Nasional Kesehatan Lanjut Usia 2016-2019), 2016a)

In addition, there are regional efforts:

• The governor of Bali has issued a legislation on older people’s welfare (No. 11/2018). However, it does not mention dementia explicitly (Bali Regional Regulation No. 11/2018 on Older People’s Welfare (Peraturan Daerah Provinsi Bali No. 11/2018), 2018).

None of the legislations and regulations above mentions dementia explicitly.
