Developing Indonesia's National Health Resilience: Strategic Responses to Covid-19 and Other Biological Threats

The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the urgency of national health in confronting biological threats. This article attempts to design a model for Indonesia's national health resilience by considering the challenges faced during the pandemic. A comprehensive approach to the health system, including medical infrastructure, crisis management, and community support, is a critical focus in building resilience. By analyzing government policies, risk mitigation measures, and institutional frameworks, this article seeks to construct a model that can guide similar countries in strengthening their national health preparedness. According to the national resilience model, aspects of national life are divided into two: natural and social. The Indonesian Government's efforts to realize Indonesia's national health resilience in facing the COVID-19 pandemic as a biological threat are as follows. First, the President of the Republic of Indonesia and related ministries and institutions have successfully balanced the COVID-19 pandemic in Indonesia. Second, we need to be aware of the domino effect of the Covid 19 pandemic in Indonesia, considering that all community activities, from the economy, society, culture, and religion, are limited. Third, transparency in the use of the budget that has been allocated for handling Covid-19. Fourth, the government's policy simulation proposal scheme for handling Covid 19 shows promising results.
