JAKARTA: Saudi Arabia and Indonesia signed on Monday a new agreement on the training and exchange of medical workers, as the Southeast Asian nation seeks closer partnership with the Kingdom to improve its healthcare system. Leading a high-level group of authorities, Kingdom Health Minister Fahad Abdulrahman Al-Jalajel is in Indonesia for two days. Al-Jalajel and his Indonesian counterpart, Budi Gunadi Sadikin, signed a memorandum of understanding on health workforce cooperation between their nations while in Jakarta as part of the visit.
According to a statement from the Indonesian Ministry of Health, “the MoU covered various areas of cooperation, including collaboration for Saudi doctors to practise in Indonesia and for Indonesian doctors to study in Saudi Arabia.” According to the statement, the agreement also includes health worker exchanges, a fellowship program, and nursing scholarships.
Following the bilateral meeting, Sadikin stated, “We hope to strengthen our human resources here in Indonesia and raise the standard of education and health services through the exchange of health workforce.” Relationships between Saudi Arabia and Indonesia in the medical field have been strengthening over time.
Through initiatives supported by KSrelief, the Kingdom’s charity organisation, Saudi physicians taught their Indonesian medical colleagues how to operate on children’s hearts and contributed to increasing access to paediatric cardiac care in the nation last year.
