Abstract:
Global labor mobility has intensified, positioning Indonesia as one of Japan's fastest-growing sources of migrant workers under the Technical Intern Training and Specified Skilled Worker schemes. However, the transition of health surveillance mechanisms - particularly Japan's Notebook of Personal Health Record (nPHR) - remains challenging once workers return home. We examined Indonesia's readiness to adopt a standardized returning health checkup system aligned with Japan's nPHR framework. In addition, we summarized the available resources and hospital data and analyzed policy, infrastructure, and resource preparedness across health facilities, identifying facts in standardization, financing, and specialist availability. We propose integrated digital health solutions for returning migrant workers.
