Following our visit with the Indonesian Minister of Health in May, CMF enlisted the expertise of Children’s Hospital of Fudan University to investigate the root cause of the problem the Minister identified: the extremely high death rate of newborns in Indonesia.
We are excited to announce the successful completion of our Indonesian benchmark study. From July 3–5rd, 2025, the CMF team, together with the Children’s Hospital of Fudan University. Coordinated by IPB University and Daima Foundation, CMF visited six hospitals in Jakarta and surrounding districts of Bogor. These included national-level hospitals (Harapan Kita, Cipto, and Bunda) and community hospitals (Cibinong, Ciawi, and Leuwiliang).
Based on the study’s findings, three national-level hospitals will be selected to join the Every Baby Rescued in Indonesia program in a ground-breaking public-private partnership program. Each hospital’s program will be tailored to its specific needs, aiming to transform it into a center of excellence in neonatal care, serve surrounding communities, and lead future resuscitation training in the Jakarta region.
