People with disability (PWD) in Indonesia are often neglected by society.
Improving their life situation towards full participation in society is crucial.
As a health strategy, rehabilitation can improve func-tioning, quality of life
and participation in society. However, rehabilitation services in Indonesia need
improvement. Making a situation analysis of rehabilitation services and their
provision in the country is a pre-requisite to taking any action towards
improvement. This paper compiles available data related to disability and
rehabilitation services in Indonesia, using the Rehabilitation Services
Assessment Tool (RSAT) as a framework. Gaps in provision were analysed, resulting
in the compilation of a list of generic recommendations to improve rehabilitation
services in the country. Indonesia faces many challenges in rehabilitation
services, including the health workforce and the provision of services. This
situation analysis and list of generic recommendations may be used in further
discussions with relevant stakeholders in the country to develop a national
strategy to strengthen rehabilitation services.
