CISDI Onsite Visit to SID: Strengthening Primary Health Care with Digital Innovation

CISDI and SID team collaborating

The Summit Institute for Development (SID) welcomed an onsite visit from the Center for Indonesia’s Strategic Development Initiatives (CISDI) to enhance primary health care through digital innovation. Over two days, the CISDI team explored SID’s digital ecosystem and witnessed firsthand the implementation of technology in the field.

Day 1: Exploring SID’s Digital Health Ecosystem

The visit began with introductions from Yurdhina Meilissa (CISDI) and Yuni Dwi Setiyawati (SID), followed by an in-depth presentation on SID’s framework, workflow, and digital infrastructure. The CISDI team observed key innovations such as Dynamic Worker Support (DWS), WhatsApp API & Call Center, and the Live Dashboard, which improve health service efficiency through a data-driven approach.

Day 2: Visiting Posyandu and Seeing Technology in Action

The CISDI team continued their visit to a Posyandu in SID-assisted areas to see how technology supports maternal and child health services. The BidanKu application simplifies health record-keeping and monitoring, while DWS helps midwives and community health workers deliver more effective services.

Testimonial

Geby Chintya (Product Manager, CISDI) shared her thoughts on the visit:

"I am very happy to have the opportunity to visit SID. There are many NGOs in Indonesia, but seeing firsthand a place where people work with passion, collaborate effectively, and truly strive to achieve a shared vision makes me feel optimistic about the future of healthcare in Indonesia."

This visit highlighted how data-driven digital solutions empower health workers and enhance primary health care in Indonesia. Innovative collaborations like this are key to building a stronger and more sustainable health system!
