Enhanced Ebola Surveillance in Indonesia: A Regional Health Priority Indonesia has taken a proactive approach to bolstering its Ebola surveillance at border checkpoints, reflecting the country's commitment to regional health security.
This enhanced surveillance is not just a response to the ongoing outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo but also a testament to Indonesia's understanding of the risks associated with being a major hub for trade and travel in Southeast Asia.
Indonesia's geographic location along major trade routes makes it a high risk country for outbreaks, with millions of travelers passing through its airports, seaports, and land borders every year.
