PT Kimia Farma (Persero) Tbk is developing an integrated healthcare service ecosystem for elderly communities to capture the economic potential of the ageing population, which is estimated to reach Rp500 trillion to Rp700 trillion annually by 2045. (15/06)

Kimia Farma Commercial Director Hanadi Setiarto said the increasing elderly population will become one of the main drivers of national healthcare industry growth toward Indonesia Emas 2045.

"Kimia Farma does not only provide healthcare products and services, but also builds national infrastructure to create healthy, independent, and productive elderly communities toward Indonesia Emas 2045," Hanadi said in an official statement received in Jakarta on Monday.

Silver Economy Blueprint Supports Elderly Healthcare Development

Kimia Farma is implementing the Silver Economy Blueprint, an ageing economy strategy to develop an integrated healthy ageing ecosystem as Indonesia’s elderly population continues to grow.

The company estimates that the elderly population will reach 20 percent of Indonesia’s total population by 2045, increasing from around 12 percent in 2026.

Currently, elderly communities contribute around 30 percent to 40 percent of national healthcare spending, equivalent to Rp190 trillion to Rp260 trillion per year.

Hanadi said the high healthcare spending among elderly groups is driven by healthcare consumption that is three to five times higher than other age groups and is mainly dominated by chronic diseases.

Elderly Healthcare Market Creates New Opportunities for Prevention and Rehabilitation Services

Amid rising medicine costs, Kimia Farma sees demographic changes as an opportunity to develop healthcare service models based on prevention and rehabilitation.

The company estimates around 70 percent of future healthcare market value will come from integrated services, including home care and long-term care services at 20 percent, chronic disease management at 20 percent, wellness and prevention services at 15 percent, and diagnostic services at 15 percent.

Kimia Farma is also developing preventive and personalised care services through its Healthspan portfolio, supported by pharmaceutical and herbal products for elderly consumers.

Kimia Farma Expands Diagnostic and Home Care Services for Elderly Patients

PT Kimia Farma Diagnostika (KFD) provides diagnostic services, health examinations, and early detection of chronic disease risks for elderly groups.

For elderly people with limited mobility, Kimia Farma provides home care services through Home Lab, Home Pharmacy, and Home Nurse.

Hanadi said the development of the healthy ageing ecosystem still faces several challenges, including limited integration of home care services, preventive healthcare financing, and shortages of elderly caregivers and geriatric healthcare workers.

Access to specialised elderly healthcare services outside major cities is also still limited. Kimia Farma is encouraging collaboration between the government, private sector, and elderly communities to develop a sustainable elderly healthcare ecosystem.

Kimia Farma Promotes Multi-Channel Financing for Healthy Ageing Services

Kimia Farma is encouraging a multi-channel financing model that combines BPJS Kesehatan, corporate wellness programs, private insurance, and co-payment schemes to support inclusive healthy ageing services.

The company aims to support the development of elderly healthcare services through a financing approach that involves different payment models.
