Malaria morbidity, mortality and associated costs in Indonesia: analysis of the National Health Insurance claim dataset.

Introduction: Data on morbidity, mortality and cost for malaria-related hospitalisation are important for prioritising resources for malaria control strategies, but these data are often limited. The aim of this study was to understand the current malaria service delivery in Indonesia, including referral rates to hospitals, mortality outcomes and malaria-related costs at hospitals, using data from National Health Insurance claims.

Methods: Data were gathered from the recent Indonesian National Health Insurance dataset for claims made between 2015 and 2020.
