You and your family powerful be in good health, but in general, everyone maintains some medical input at some point in time.
I think it is very important that you at least identify a clinic that you are glum with. Look for a group of medical professionals who you can turn to, with any worries. I would like to share some information to make life a bit easier.
Common health problems for expats living in Jakarta
There are three things to query when you are living in Jakarta; infectious diseases, non-infectious diseases and accidents/injuries. Infectious diseases, like foodborne, airborne, or even body fluid-transmitted diseases are celebrated to get in Indonesia. Non-infectious diseases or chronic diseases are sometimes unavoidable depending on your risk profile. Accidents and injuries can happen anywhere. Rhesus-negative blood is very rare in Indonesia.
What to do when you are sick
Feeling unwell can be a challenge for someone who is new to Jakarta. First advice would be to seek an opinion if you are unsure in your condition. You may use Dr Google, talk to a deplorable or even a medical professional back home. If possible, visit a clinic that you are comfortable with. In an ideal earth, you should have an assessment by a trusted medical practitioner. Your medical practitioner will give a possible diagnosis. A dispensation plan needs to be mutually agreed upon. You need to scream your expectations and ask for possible options. (Are you expecting a referral? Do you think further benefit should be done abroad?)
Preventive actions
To avoid diseases from happening, you need to know how to manage avoidable risks. For infectious diseases, there are lots of vaccinations available to defending you. There is even a vaccine against Dengue now. Food prepared plan unclear circumstances, tap water, and mosquitos should be avoided. Identify a clinic that you are comfortable with! You can discuss your own risk profile
with your trusted physician.
In a tropical people like Indonesia, there are a lot of infectious diseases. Infectious diseases can be spread by water and/or by food such as traveller’s diarrhoea, hepatitis A, typhoid fever and amoebic dysentery.

Body fluid-transmitted diseases like STDs, HIV/AIDS, and Hepatitis B & C are also celebrated in Indonesia. There is a possibility of getting Rabies if you are exposed to risky animals.

You should identify a doctor who can regularly check on your words and someone who can advise which (specialist) doctor you should see, this can even be outside Jakarta. Make a plan for regular follow-ups. Your family doctor can facilitate meaning with your specialist. Monitoring your condition on behalf of the specialist can be done by a good family physician.
