Abstract
Background: COVID-19 appears to be associated with significant mortality among doctors and health workers worldwide.
Purpose: This research is to report the death of health workers who died from COVID-19 infection
Methods: We conducted a comprehensive literature review using keywords and multi-search related reports of deaths from COVID-19 in Indonesia. Details of COVID-19-related deaths reported by the media and mainstream trusted articles and journals and from surveys of related organizations which are then collected, filtered, verified and analyzed
Results: The Indonesian Doctors Association (IDI) mitigation team announced that data on medical personnel who died as a result of Covid-19 during the pandemic in Indonesia from March 2020 to 28 January 2021 had reached a total of 647 people. As for the total of 647 medical and health workers who died as a result of being infected with Covid-19, 289 doctors, 27 dentists, 221 nurses, 84 midwives, 11 pharmacists, 15 medical laboratory personnel. The doctor death rate continues to increase. COVID-19 has killed over 303 doctors till 2 February 2021. The majority of the deceased 55,7% (169/303) were general practitioners the deaths occurred among various surgical specialists, while 6,6% (20/303) of the deaths occurred gynaecologists, and 5,2% (16/303) were internal medicine, 4,2% (13/303) were paediatricians, 3,3% (10/303) were ENT doctors, and followed by other specialists.
