Welcome to IthaMaps

IthaMaps is a global epidemiology database of heamoglobinopathies, illustrating published data on a dynamic global to regional map. Country-specific information on haemoglobinopathy-related policies, prevalence, incidence and overall disease burden is given, including relative allele frequencies of specific globin mutations in each country and/or region, dynamically linked to corresponding IthaGenes entries.

IthaMaps content was supported by partnership with the HVP Global Globin 2020 Challenge

Haemoglobinopathy-specific healthcare policy information for Indonesia

Healthcare policyComment/InfoReference
Prevention programme: Yes (Regional)As pilot prevention programmes since 1998, with government involvement in 2009.[PMID: 27040959]
SCD newborn screening: NoSCD is not included in the national NBS program [www.labsystemsdx.com][PMID: 33072985]
Prenatal screening: Yes (Regional)Voluntary. PND for high-risk couples is rarely performed.[PMID: 27040959]
Antenatal screening: Yes (Regional)Since 1998. From: Thalassaemia Reports 2012, TIF Pan-Asian Conference.
Haemoglobinopathies patient registry: Yes (Regional)Lack of a national registry and data fragmentation. Separate databases are available in major thalassaemia centres such as the Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital, which is a national referral hospital [From: WHO South-East Asia 2021 report, ISBN: 978-92-9022-851-6]
Rare disease patient registry: No[PMID: 27484654]
Dedicated treatment centres: Yes (National)
Blood transfusion availability: Yes (National)National blood services meet only half of the blood demand, and there is unequal distribution of blood supply [From: WHO South-East Asia 2021 report, ISBN: 978-92-9022-851-6]
Iron chelation availability: Yes (National)Free iron chelation therapy (DFO, DFP, DFX) for thalassaemia patients, but not all patients receive optimum treatment.[PMID: 27040959]
MRI facilities: Yes (Regional) In major centres. From: TIF report on South East Asian Nations, Aug. 2013.
Patient associations: Yes (National)Indonesian Thalassaemia Foundation/Association of Parents of Thalassaemia Patients Indonesia (YTI/POPTI)
