👉 In Indonesia, the term "infekti" (or "infection") refers to the presence of pathogens, such as bacteria, viruses, or parasites, that can cause disease in humans or animals. When an individual becomes infected, it means they have been exposed to and are harboring these pathogens, which can lead to illness if not properly managed. The spread of infections can occur through various routes, including contaminated water, food, direct contact with infected individuals or animals, or airborne transmission. Public health measures in Indonesia focus on prevention and control, such as vaccination programs, hygiene education, sanitation improvements, and the use of antibiotics to treat bacterial infections. Early detection and treatment are crucial to prevent the spread of infections and mitigate their impact on public health.
