Expertise Center
Aging & Disability
Evidence on healthy aging, long-term care, and disability inclusion across the Indonesian health system.
Overview
About the center.
The Aging and Disability Center studies the health and social-protection needs of older adults and people with disabilities in Indonesia, with attention to functional decline, long-term care, and access to services. It combines population survey data, routine administrative claims, and facility records to describe care gaps, costs, and equity across provinces and districts. As an emerging area within the institute, its current work focuses on building the data foundations and baseline measurement needed to inform policy on aging and disability.

What this center covers.
- Healthy aging and functional status in older adults
- Long-term and home-based care models
