Let's Wait till 75 Years!
Family Care August 30th, 2010

The number of pediatricians in Indonesia is far from ideal and not spread evenly. At least it took 75 years to meet the ideal number of pediatricians in Indonesia.
General Chairman of Indonesian Pediatric Association (IDAI) Badriul Hegar, to explain, the number of pediatricians in Indonesia, only 2400 people. The number of children in Indonesia about 66 million people or 30 percent of the total population in Indonesia, the 220 million people.
That means a medical specialist serving 27,500 children. In fact, European countries set the standard of a maximum pediatricians serving 2500 children. The IDI insists that standards specialists serving 10,000 to 15,000. “We need three times more pediatricians,” he said on the sidelines of the Annual Scientific Meeting (PIT) IV IDAI in Medan, Sunday (21/2/2010) night.
To meet the energy shortage that Indonesia takes 75 years to add a pediatrician 7500. Indonesia could spawn a new 100 pediatricians per year from 13 existing educational institutions.
Chairman of North Sumatra IDAI Tjipta add Guslihan Dasa, Indonesia lost a lot compared to some neighboring countries in terms of physician specialty children. Singapore is only a population of around 95 million people have pediatrician 5000.
Another problem is the spread of inequality pediatrician in Indonesia. Specialty physicians from 2400 children, a third was in Jakarta. As a result, some cities / regencies have tiak pediatrician.
In North Sumatra, from 147 pediatricians who have, as many as 60 people are in Medan. Regions such as North Tapanuli and Humbang Hasundutan absolutely no pediatrician. Nias Island is inhabited by about 700,000 people had only one child specialists.
The uneven spread of it, said Badriul, caused by the absence of regulations that require a general practitioner or pediatrician to serve areas. In addition, pediatricians tend to practice in urban areas for reasons of income. “This problem was I was talking with the Minister of Health, but no result,” he said.
One of the consequences of inequality and the spread of small amount of these pediatricians is higher rates of neonatal mortality that reached 34 people per 1000 births. IDAI try reducing to 23 people per 1000 births in 2015 later. This became the main target of discussion in the PIT IV in Medan that hir defecate on 24 February.

Who does not know Facebook? Social networking sites have attracted 1,333,649 users in Indonesia in 2009, making Indonesia as the country’s number one Facebook user in Southeast Asia, and number seven in the world. Facebook charm that provides a series of features that allow users to interact directly such as chat, tagging photos, blogging, and playing games that could attract the curiosity of parents, teens, until the children.
Sari, for example. The little girl, who was sitting in class VI of this elementary school, always took time to open a Facebook application via phone her sister. Before leaving school, Sari did not want to miss to update the status on Facebook.
If no phone beraplikasi Facebook, or computer berakses internet at home, the kids like Sari always took time to visit Internet cafes after school. Nor Aida (10). Because no internet access at home, almost every day Aida went to internet cafe to see me on her Facebook.
“Or play Farmville. Abis eat, ask for money, play,” said Aida Kompas.com met on Friday (19/2/2010).
You could say almost every day Sari and his colleagues tried to keep the site accessible by the cyberspace friendship. If this condition is, what the impact on the social lives of children?
Child psychologist, University of Indonesia, Mayke S. Tedjasaputra, when contacted Kompas.com on Thursday (18/2/2010) argues, the use of Facebook by early childhood, such as primary school age could introduce a certain negative behaviors to the child. That is because, according to Mayke, with Facebook can track a child anywhere, know anyone who does not seem they had ever seen or expression. Thus, children are easily deceived by Facebook.
“They may know someone who use them, teaching things amazing to the kids impressed, teach a particular behavior, to the negative, such as sex invitation,” he said.
Especially as a child, said Mayke, Sari or Aida can not distinguish to whom to be friends on Facebook, and to whom do not have friends. “All the communication back to the parent and child. The family is the main barrier in the house. Environmental can provide any influence on the children,” he explained.
Mayke say, parents are not able to prevent the use of Facebook by children. However, he continued, parents can give more attention to their children so the children do not seek the attention of others in cyberspace.
“If parents do not pay attention to her child, the child could be seeking attention from the outside world. It could happen as NT (Nova, teenagers who allegedly fled with her Facebook friends) who met with Facebook friends,” added Mayke.
Attention to children, as well as smooth terlain communication between parents and children, can be a major barrier blocking the negative impact of Facebook exposure in children.
