title: Medical practitioner regulation in Indonesia.
abstract: Against a background of little by way of health practitioner regulation, Indonesia's Medical Practice Act 2004 has introduced a regime of both ethical obligations for medical practitioners and a system of disciplinary oversight over practitioners' conduct. This editorial describes the Indonesian initiatives and evaluates the challenges that are likely to confront their implementation.
