Challenges for Health Workers in Era 5.0
Emphasis on Moral Quality and Morality
In the 5.0 era, health workers in Indonesia are not only faced with the challenges of globalization, but also the emphasis on moral quality and morality. This era demands integration between advances in digital technology and human identity. Therefore, it is important for health workers to maintain ethics and morality in all their actions.
Competency of Health Workers
The way of thinking of health workers, including doctors, must begin to be formed from college. The Faculty of Medicine has a big responsibility in implementing education that can produce graduates with high competence. Medical students need to train and hone their abilities in order to survive in this revolutionary era, where many physical and manual jobs are starting to be replaced by artificial intelligence.
Adaptation to Digital Technology
Era 5.0 is an era where digital technology and humans coexist. Health workers must be able to adapt quickly to technological changes that continue to develop. The use of technology such as artificial intelligence and e-Health is very important in increasing the efficiency and effectiveness of health services. However, this adaptation also requires health workers to continue learning and developing themselves so as not to be left behind.
Digitalization of Health Services in Indonesia
3T Strategy in Handling the Pandemic
In Indonesia’s health profile, digitalization of health services has become a major focus, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. The 3T strategy (testing, tracing, treatment) is the backbone in handling the pandemic. All aspects of the COVID-19 response are now based on digital technology, from testing, tracking, to treatment.

The Role of Vaccination in Digitalization
Vaccination also plays an important role in the digitalization of health services. With internet-based applications such as Simundu for integrated immunization data, data management becomes more efficient and accurate. This is one example of how technology can improve the quality of health services in Indonesia. For more information, visit the pafi website.
Digital Transformation Challenges
Despite much progress, digital transformation in Indonesia’s health sector still faces various challenges. One of the biggest challenges is digital literacy. Many health workers still need to be encouraged to better understand and utilize existing technology. According to Daniel Oscar Baskoro from the Ministry of Health, human resources are one of the main obstacles in accelerating digital transformation.

Promotive and Preventive Roles in Health Services
Public education is key in promotive and preventive efforts. By providing information that is accurate and easy to understand, people can be more aware of the importance of maintaining health. This includes an understanding of healthy lifestyles, the importance of vaccinations, and how to prevent infectious diseases. Good education will help people make better decisions regarding their health.
Socialization of health protocols is very important, especially during the pandemic. Health workers must continue to remind the public about the importance of washing hands, wearing masks and maintaining distance. Effective outreach can reduce the spread of the virus and protect vulnerable groups. In addition, outreach should also include information about what to do if someone feels sick or shows symptoms of Covid-19.
Disease prevention efforts involve various strategies, from vaccination to healthy living campaigns. Governments and health workers must work together to ensure that people have access to the health services they need. Effective prevention not only reduces the burden of disease but also saves long-term care costs. By focusing on prevention, we can create a healthier and more productive society.
The Influence of the Industrial Revolution 4.0 on Health
The term Industrial Revolution 4.0 has been discussed more and more by the public lately. For those who are still laymen, of course they will ask, what does Industrial Revolution 4.0 mean? What is the impact on the socio-economic and cultural aspects of our society. And what is most important for us, especially in the health sector, is how the health sector can create opportunities in this Industry 4.0 era. Industrial revolution 4.0 is an era where technology is progressing very rapidly, as evidenced by the existence of the internet which makes human life easier. The industrial revolution 4.0 not only has an impact on the technology sector, but also has an impact on the health sector.
The Role of the Young Generation in Health
Participation in Covid-19 Prevention
The younger generation, especially students, have an important role in the new normal era. Apart from complying with health protocols, they can also contribute directly as volunteers or social activists. By providing understanding to the public about the corona virus, the younger generation can help prevent the spread of Covid-19.
Education and Adaptation in the New Normal Era
Midwives and other health workers continue to educate patients, families and the community so they can adapt to the new normal era. The younger generation can also play a role in socializing health protocols during visits. In this way, they help the community to always implement health protocols.
Contribution in the Field of Public Health
The younger generation not only plays a role in preventing Covid-19, but also in various aspects of public health. They can become volunteers or social activists who provide education and understanding to the community. In this way, the younger generation participates in improving the quality of public health as a whole.
Challenges and Opportunities in the New Normal Era
In the new normal era, health workers face big challenges in helping people prevent Covid-19. The potential for an increase in cases is still high, especially in workplaces and offices. Therefore, preparedness and awareness of all levels of society is very important. Health workers must continue to adapt to this situation and ensure that health protocols are implemented properly.
Implementing health protocols is the main key in facing the new normal era. Even though several activity sectors have reopened to get the economy moving, the spread of the virus could still increase. Therefore, the entire community must make peace and live side by side with Covid-19 while still implementing strict health protocols.
The new normal era also opens up great opportunities for innovation in the health sector. The challenges faced can be opportunities to create new and effective solutions in health management. By utilizing digital technology and the spirit of the Industrial Revolution 4.0, we can become active actors in this change, not just spectators. This innovation not only helps in handling Covid-19 but also improves the overall quality of health services.
Conclusion
In this modern era, the Indonesian health sector faces various complex challenges and opportunities. Globalization and industrial revolution 4.0 have brought significant changes, especially in terms of digitalization of health services. However, internal challenges such as improving the quality of morals, morality and competence of health workers cannot be ignored. With digital technology, handling the COVID-19 pandemic has become more efficient through the 3T strategy and vaccination. Even so, digital literacy still needs to be improved so that digital transformation can run optimally. Health workers must also continue to adapt and provide education to the public to face the new normal era. With collaboration and innovation, Indonesia’s health sector has a great opportunity to develop and provide better services for the community.
