              Indonesia deals with dueling outbreaks as dengue cases spike
              Rise in 'breakbone fever' adds stress to shaky infrastructure battling COVID-19

              JAKARTA -- Already struggling to cope with the spread of coronavirus, Indonesia's medical infrastructure is being pushed to the limit as the country sees a surge in potentially deadly dengue cases.

              With the Southeast Asian archipelago notorious for inadequate medical infrastructure, a continued rise in cases of dengue fever -- or "breakbone fever" as it is also known -- alongside COVID-19 cases may potentially push it to the brink of collapse.

              Some observers have said patients with symptoms not related to the coronavirus are struggling to get adequate care after the government ordered the country's 130-plus top-ranked hospitals to treat only COVID-19 patients.

              "Even before COVID-19, the capacity and quality of medical infrastructure was already an issue in Indonesia," said Pandu Riono, an epidemiologist at the University of Indonesia. "Other diseases... are not only getting less treatment, but are transferred to other hospitals with probably less-proper facilities. This is very concerning because not only is their condition getting worse, but the mortality rate from other diseases might also increase."

              A total of 39,860 people have been diagnosed with dengue fever in the first three months of the year, according to the Health Ministry, a 15.7% rise compared with the same period last year. Particularly troubling is that the 137,761 cases in 2019 were double the number in 2018...

                Bali has recorded thousands of dengue fever cases in the province since the start of the year, with Buleleng regency alone accounting for about a third of the total.

                “The death rate is still low, but we should not ignore it, because death no matter how small still poses a threat,” I Ketut Suarjaya, who heads the Bali Health Agency, said yesterday...
