Providing good medical access for patients with congenital heart disease (CHD) is still a significant issue in most developing countries, including Indonesia. With approximately 50,000 newborns with CHD annually, the development of pediatric cardiac surgery in Indonesia needs to be intensified. After the establishment of the National Cardiovascular Center Harapan Kita in 1985, followed by other centers, the development of pediatric cardiac surgery in Indonesia has surpassed several milestones in treating CHD. However, some main problems, including lack of human, medical, and financial resources, lack of education centers, and uneven distribution of the centers, still need to be solved urgently with the cooperation of medical health providers, the government, and the stakeholders.
在包括印度尼西亚在内的大多数发展中国家，为先天性心脏病（CHD）患者提供良好的医疗服务仍然是一个重大问题。印度尼西亚每年约有50000名患有先天性心脏病的新生儿，因此需要加强该国小儿心脏外科的发展。1985年印度尼西亚国家心血管中心“希望之心”成立，随后其他中心也相继成立，印度尼西亚小儿心脏外科在治疗先天性心脏病方面取得了几个重要的里程碑式进展。然而，一些主要问题，包括人力、医疗和财政资源短缺、教育中心匮乏以及中心分布不均等，仍亟需医疗卫生服务提供者、政府和利益相关者合作解决。
