When Indonesia Health Minister Budi Gunadi Sadikin came into office in December 2020, he had three main tasks: oversee the country's COVID-19 vaccination program, control the spread of the virus so the economy could recover, and reform the health sector.

In a visit to the Asian Development Bank's (ADB) Manila headquarters in March 2024, Minister Budi shared insights with ADB staff on how Indonesia's ministry of health Kementerian Kesehatan vaccinated 280 million people in just 1 year and 8 months, how he ensured buy-in from stakeholders for the biggest ever health reform in the country, and the need for a sustainable business model for the country's healthcare system that focuses on preventive instead of curative care.

The event was held as part of ADB's Innovation Speakers' Series. Susann Roth, advisor to ADB's Department of Communications and Knowledge Management, facilitated the discussion.
