Country Landscape

Indonesia, with over 281 million people and 1,200+ ethnic groups across 17,000+ islands, holds immense potential as a clinical trial site. With its vast, diverse patient pool and growing readiness, the country is now better positioned than ever.

Clinical trial approvals—drugs, cosmetics, and supplements by Indonesian FDA, and medical devices by the Ministry of Health—have reached 163. Though still growing, Indonesia is on track to become a leading clinical trial hub in Southeast Asia within 5–10 years.

Regulation

The Indonesian government is steadily improving the clinical research environment. A key update is the revised Material Transfer Agreement (MTA), now with clearer timelines and criteria — a long-awaited change for Sponsors.

The Ministry of Health has formed the Indonesia Clinical Research Center (INA-CRC) to connect Sponsors with stakeholders, assist administrative processes, and ensure GCP compliance. It also manages the Indonesia Clinical Research Registry (INA-CRR) to boost research transparency.

Another key initiative underway is the Central Ethics Committee (KEEPKN), which aims to centralize ethics reviews for multicenter studies — marking Indonesia’s rising readiness in clinical research.
