Human resources for health at the district level in Indonesia: the smoke and mirrors of decentralization
Human Resources for Health, 02/05/09

Heywood P et al. - Provider density (number of doctors, nurses and midwives/1000 population) was low by international standards - 11 out of 15 districts had provider densities less than 1.0. Approximately half of all three professional groups were permanent public servants. Contractual employment was also important for both nurses and midwives. The private sector as the primary source of employment is most important for doctors (37% overall) and increasingly so for midwives (10%). For those employed in the public sector, two-thirds of doctors and nurses work in health centres, while most midwives are located at village-level health facilities.
