The Ministry of Health’s regulation no. 74/2014 regulates the type of services, facilities, and resources an integrated geriatric unit should have. It also regulates that such services should be managed by an Integrated Geriatric Team, formed by the hospital director. The geriatric service is classified into sederhana, lengkap, sempurna, and paripurna types, ranging from very simple services to very comprehensive, respectively. The regulation stated that the team should be led by a geriatric specialist in the paripurna (highest) types, or an internal medicine specialist in the lower types (Ministry of Health Regulation No. 79/2014 on Geriatric Services in Hospitals (Permenkes No. 79/2014 Tentang Pelayanan Geriatri Di RS), 2014).
