The terms "health analyst" or "laboratory administrator" still sound foreign to
most people's ears. Most Indonesians are more aware of and familiar with professions
in the health sector such as doctors, nurses, midwives and pharmacists.

Health analysts are professional personnel who play an important role in

health laboratory analysis. Health analysts are often known as medical laboratory
technology experts.

Indonesian Health Laboratory Expert Professional Standards is a profession

for health laboratory experts in Indonesia in carrying out their professional duties to
play an active and integrated role for Indonesia's national development. There are
many aspects that support advances in medical science such as professions,
laboratories, and others.

highly skilled health workers and scientists who carry out and evaluate laboratory
procedures by utilizing various resources. This health facility is in the form of a
Health Laboratory such as the Clinical Pathology Laboratory which checks samples
in the form of human body fluids such as blood, sputum, faeces, urine, liquor cerebro
spinalis (brain fluid), and others to obtain data or results as a diagnosis of an disease.
Its scope is also broad including examination of microbiology (bacteria), parasitology
(fungi, protozoa, worms), hematology (blood cells and plasma), immunology
(antigens, antibodies), clinical chemistry (hormones, enzymes, glucose, lipids,
proteins, electrolytes , etc)

The Health Analyst profession is very important in the world of medicine,

because a doctor cannot determine by himself in deciding a disease diagnosis, but it is
required from the results of laboratory examinations.

laboratory personnel. Therefore a health analyst must be skilled and competent in his
profession.

Because maybe the work of a health analyst is in the laboratory, and it is not known
by everyone because a health analyst sometimes likes to be confused with
pharmacists or other hospital workers.

(Hematology, Clinical Chemistry, Microbiology, Immuno-serology, Toxicology,
Food-Beverage Chemistry, Water Chemistry, Anatomical Pathology, Molecular
Biology) that use instrumentation to aid diagnosis, treat and prevent disease.

body fluids, tissues and interpreting the results. Often work independently but health

as water, food and beverages. If you want to find a health analyst profession. If
anyone has ever been to a hospital and has had a blood check in a laboratory, it means
that he has met them.
 Health analysts have a very broad scope, such as hematological examinations
(the study of blood and its parts and disorders), clinical chemistry examinations,
parasitology examinations (protozoa, fungi, worms, etc.), microbiological
examinations, immunological examinations, and so on.

However, health analysts can also have a career in the Anatomical Pathology
laboratory for examination of tissue samples from surgery. Not only working in a
health laboratory, but an analyst can also work in the food and beverage industry, and
so on.

The profile or role of Health Analyst Diploma III education graduates refers
to the Decree of the Minister of Health of the Republic of Indonesia Number 370 /
Menkes / SK / III / 2007. The main task of the Indonesian Health Analyst is to
provide health laboratory services. In carrying out these main tasks, health analysts
have functions / obligations, including: Developing procedures for taking and
processing specimens, carrying out analytical tests on reagents and specimens,
operating and maintaining laboratory equipment, evaluating laboratory data to ensure
accuracy and quality control procedures and developing solutions problems related to
test result data, evaluating new techniques, instruments and procedures to determine
their practical benefits, helping clinicians to use laboratory data effectively and
efficiently to interpret laboratory test results, plan, organize, carry out and evaluate
laboratory activities, guide and foster personnel in the field of olfactory engineering,
designing and carrying out research in the field of health laboratories.

There are several health analysis functions in providing medical laboratory

services and carrying out their duties including preparing operational technical
processes, conducting analytical tests on specimens and reagents, developing
procedures for taking and processing specimens, operating and maintaining
instruments in the laboratory, maintaining work safety in the laboratory environment,
and evaluating lab data to ascertain quality control procedures and accuracy.

In addition, health analysis actually still has several other functions, for
example helping clinicians to use lab data to interpret lab test results, organize lab
activities, conduct research, and provide education to the community related to
medical labs.

Before plunging into the real work field, someone who wants to become a
health analysis worker or laboratory technology expert must have several
competencies that must be achieved, one of which is mastering knowledge related to
its obligations and functions in a medical lab. They must also be able to design
processes related to their duties and functions in the lab according to their level.
Skills are certainly one of the competencies that must be achieved because without
skills for operational processes, a lab expert cannot do their job. Meanwhile, the skills
themselves also consist of various kinds such as skills for taking specimens, carrying
out lab procedures, and skills in maintaining the tools in the health lab.

An analyst must have high skills and responsibility in examining samples.

This corresponds to the risk of being fatal if something goes wrong.

Many do not know that health analysts have tons of job opportunities. An
analyst graduate can work in a hospital laboratory, of course, to help diagnose a
doctor. Apart from hospitals, health analysts can be placed in Prodia, PMI, and all
other places related to analysis.

In the world of work, the differences between D3, D4, and S1 Health Analysts
are not really taken into account, because many agencies and companies require the
competence of an Analyst. They usually have the opportunity to work in private civil
servants (PNS), private clinical laboratories, government or private hospitals, regional
health laboratories, food and drug control centers (BPOM), companies in the field of
food and beverage, pharmacy, police forensic labs, institutions research science (lipi,
biopharma) and lecturers (especially in health science schools).

Currently, health analysts in Indonesia are still lacking, whereas in the

development of science and technology, the number of health laboratories has
increased so that the job opportunity for a health analyst is very large. so the shortage
of health analysts is 4,267.

The shortage of Health Analysts must be met immediately, so that Indonesian

public health services can be optimal. Therefore, the role of health education
institutions is needed to produce professional and competent Health Analysts in the
future.
