OBJECTIVES OF THE PROGRAMME:

A mid-term review of the Strategic Plan for measles elimination and rubella/CRS control by 2020
in WHO South East Asia Region 2014-2020 concluded that the goal is off-track and recommended
to extend the goal of measles elimination and also recommended to upgrade the goal of rubella
control to rubella elimination. The mid-term review also recognized the high level of political
commitment and the efforts made by national governments to achieve the goal in the Region.

The Ministry of Health in Indonesia has requested assistance from WHO Indonesia to develop a
new strategic plan for measles and rubella elimination in line with the Global and the Regional
strategic plan which would include identification of activities in the following key areas:

1) Achieving and sustaining high immunization coverage for two-dose MRCV through routine
and supplemental immunization activities.

2) High quality, elimination standard surveillance

3) Laboratory support

4) Outbreak preparedness and response

5) Social mobilization and communication

While the above strategies should be considered at a national level, implementation and
monitoring performance of specific activities should take into consideration sub-national
disparities in EPI and surveillance program performance and variations in operationalization of
existing activities in the above areas of work. The strategic plan should describe sub-national
disparities and outline targeted activities to address program needs accordingly. A draft outline
for a 2018-2022 Measles and Rubella Elimination Strategic Plan was developed by WHO SEARO.

From the perspective of measles and rubella programme, Indonesia will have to divided into
Epidemiological Regions based on the epidemiology of disease transmission and programmatic
performance almost similar to that done for other vaccine preventable diseases like maternal and
neonatal tetanus elimination (MNTE). The MNTE programme divided Indonesia into four Region

• Region 1: Java and Bali islands which includes the following provinces Bali, Banten, Central
Java, East Java, DKI Jakarta, West Java and Yogyakarta

• Region 2: Sumatera Island which includes the following provinces Ache, Sumatera north,
Sumatera West, Riau, Jambi, Sumatera South, Bengkulu, Lampung, Bangka Belitung,
Kepulauan Riau

• Region 3: Kalimantan, Sulawesi, NTT, NTB, Maluku and Papua islands which includes the
following provinces East Kalimantan, West Kalimantan, North Kalimantan, South
Kalimantan, Central Kalimantan, North Sulawesi, South Sulawesi, Central Sulawesi, West
Sulawesi, Sulawesi Tenggara, Gorontolo, Nusa Tenggara Barat and Nusa Tenggara Timur,
Maluku, North Maluku, Papua and West Papua

The Ministry of Health and WHO Indonesia EPI teams have conducted measles programmatic risk
assessments at the provincial level and that could be used to validate is a similar approach as used
by MNTE program can be feasible for measles and rubella elimination efforts.
