The Indonesian government is enhancing health screenings at entry points, particularly at airports, to prevent the spread of new variants of Mpox (monkeypox) into the country. According to M Syahril, spokesperson for the Ministry of Health (Kemenkes), all international travelers, including both Indonesian citizens (WNI) and foreign nationals (WNA), must now complete an electronic self-declaration form called the Satu Sehat Health Pass (SSHP). This action is in response to the detection of the Clade Ib variant of Mpox outside Africa, which is believed to have greater severity and a faster transmission rate, including among children.

The Ministry of Health has coordinated with the Ministry of Transportation (Kemenhub) to implement the Satu Sehat Health Pass for international travelers. The Ministry of Transportation has issued a circular mandating that all airlines serving international flights inform passengers and ensure they complete the Satu Sehat Health Pass before departure. Travelers can fill out the form online via the website https://sshp.kemkes.go.id, and after submission, they will receive a barcode containing their health and travel history.

Additionally, SatuSehat, formerly known as PeduliLindungi, is a national integrated health data exchange platform jointly developed by the Indonesian Ministry of Communication and Information Technology. SATUSEHAT is part of a broader national digital health ecosystem that simplifies access to health data and enables individuals to manage their personal health independently.

The SATUSEHAT Health Pass is an electronic self-declaration form required for all international travelers entering Indonesia. It gathers essential health and travel information to help authorities monitor and prevent the spread of infectious diseases, particularly Mpox.
