Indonesia: The circle of life – Highlights of new reproductive health regulation

In brief

On 20 February 2025, the Minister of Health (MOH) issued MOH Regulation No. 2 of 2025, which regulates the implementation of reproductive health efforts ("MOH Regulation 2"). This regulation aims to improve access to reproductive health for women and men alike, especially in terms of reproductive health throughout their life-cycles.
