SwissCham Indonesia was pleased to participate in the Kadin Monthly Diplomatic Economic Breakfast on 9 October 2026, at the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia. SwissCham was represented by our Executive Director, Ms. Olivia Nathalie Noor.
Under the theme “Building National Health Systems, Growing Regional Resilience to Scale Global Impact,” the gathering brought together the diplomatic and business communities for a discussion with H.E. Budi Gunadi Sadikin, Minister of Health of the Republic of Indonesia.
The Minister highlighted the importance of keeping people healthy through prevention, healthier lifestyles, and early detection, including Indonesia’s free health check-up programme. Reflecting on Indonesia’s COVID-19 response, he also emphasised that effective leadership requires the ability to translate ambitious plans into results at scale.
The discussion extended to global health governance and the challenges facing the World Health Organization. International cooperation and leadership that delivers measurable improvements in people’s lives were central themes throughout the exchange.
For SwissCham Indonesia, these conversations are relevant to our healthcare and life sciences members and to the wider business community. Stronger health systems support a healthier workforce, economic resilience, and opportunities for cooperation between Switzerland and Indonesia in healthcare innovation and expertise.
We extend our sincere appreciation to H.E. Budi Gunadi Sadikin and the Ministry of Health, as well as Kadin Indonesia, Mr. Anindya N. Bakrie, Chairman, and Dr. James Riady, Coordinating Vice Chairman for International Affairs, for convening this valuable dialogue.
SwissCham Indonesia looks forward to continuing exchanges that connect our members with Indonesia’s health priorities and strengthen bilateral business cooperation.
