Recent epidemiologic findings indicate that 1.8% of the Indonesian population "have extreme problems" and 19.5% "have problems" in various aspects of their ability to carry out daily activities. People with disability (PWD) have a high risk for poverty in Indonesia, and there are strong prejudices that presume unproductivity and dependency. Disability policies are integrated through a National Plan of Action. However, the existing number of human resources in the field of medical rehabilitation is still too low compared with the existing needs. This is true also for the budget for rehabilitation services. Several issues are identified that need action to improve the inclusion of PWD and to ensure their dignity including supporting a perception of PWD as active and equal citizens, assessing accurate data about the disability prevalence, strengthening organizations of PWD, building educational capacities for PWD, developing preventive strategies, and international cooperation.
最近的流行病学研究结果表明，印度尼西亚有 1.8%的人口“存在严重问题”，19.5%的人口在日常生活活动能力的各个方面“存在问题”。印度尼西亚的残疾人（PWD）面临较高的贫困风险，而且存在强烈的偏见，认为他们没有生产力，需要依赖他人。残疾政策通过国家行动计划得到整合。然而，与现有需求相比，医疗康复领域的现有人力资源数量仍然过低。康复服务的预算也是如此。为了改善残疾人的包容性并确保他们的尊严，需要采取一些行动，包括支持将残疾人视为积极和平等的公民的观念，评估关于残疾流行率的准确数据，加强残疾人组织，为残疾人提供教育能力建设，制定预防策略以及开展国际合作。
