Government Regulation Number 28 of 2024 implements Indonesia’s Health Law (Law Number 17 of 2023), introducing significant reforms to the healthcare system. The regulation strengthens hospital governance, sets standards for medical services, and enhances oversight of foreign medical personnel. It also addresses public health concerns by regulating processed foods, controlling substances like tobacco, and incorporating digital health technologies. Notably, the regulation explicitly prohibits female genital mutilation (FGM), marking a critical step in safeguarding women's and girls' health and rights in Indonesia, aligning national policies with global human rights standards.
