Indonesia’s Ministry of Health (Kementerian Kesehatan) is collaborating with Google Cloud to develop healthcare-specific generative AI (GenAI) innovations.
This is aligned with the goals of the Indonesian government’s blueprint for digital health transformation and Digital Indonesia Vision 2045 initiative.
Since the two organisations began collaborating in 2022, Google Cloud has established a safe and secure environment to test its enterprise-grade and medically-tuned GenAI innovations, enabling them to be tailored to address the unique healthcare needs of Indonesians.
“As we look to advance AI adoption, a balance between innovation and ethical considerations is crucial for success. By adhering to responsible AI principles and practices, we can ensure that we are harnessing the potential of AI while safeguarding societal well-being,” said Setiaji, Chief of Digital Transformation Office (DTO) at Kementerian Kesehatan.
The latest collaboration is part of Kementerian Kesehatan’s aim to improve healthcare access, experiences and outcomes for every individual in Indonesia, and complements ongoing efforts with Google Cloud to enhance processes in Indonesia’s healthcare sector.
“Our collaboration with Kementerian Kesehatan is significant as it lays the foundation for the safe and secure growth of GenAI solutions in Indonesia’s healthcare sector, paving the way for on-demand access to health information and more informed diagnosis or treatment plans while maintaining the privacy and security of patient data,” said Fanly Tanto, Country Director of Indonesia at Google Cloud.
