Dr Monir Islam participated in High Level Meeting held by the Minister of Health to seek support from local governments for measles and polio immunization campaign

 

A High Level Meeting on Routine Immunization Intensification in Indonesia was held on 14 October 2011 in Jakarta. This meeting is a part of activities supporting the 3rd Measles Follow Up Campaign in 17 provinces of Indonesia, 18 October to 18 November 2011, also supported by WHO.

 

As the meeting was attended by provincial governments, Minister of Health, Dr Endang Rahayu Sedyaningsih asked local governments to ensure the successful immunization programme for the health and welfare of the people.

 

“Eliminating these diseases is not just about eliminating sufferings, morbidity, mortality, and disability, but also to eliminate the moral burden and material lost,” said the Minister.

 

Dr Monir Islam, Director of Family Health and Research of SEARO in the roundtable discussion said that he believes saving lives is not only the responsibility of the Ministry of Health but all sectors. “WHO will be working with its partners, because we believe Indonesia can do this.”

 

The roundtable discussion provided a dialogue forum for all participants

which included representatives of the National Commission of Human Rights of Indonesia, University of Indonesia, and local governments from all 17 provinces. The event concluded with a statement of commitment from all provinces agreeing to achieve a minimum of 95% coverage during the campaign.
