N1 - Funding Information:
In Indonesia, research on advance care planning has primarily focused on exploring patients', family members', and healthcare professionals' experiences and perspectives on advance care planning in order to better understand how advance care planning can be implemented in the local context, including potential barriers and facilitators [30–32] . In addition, an Indonesian representative has participated in numerous regional collaborative research projects supported by the Asia Pacific Hospice Palliative Care Network (APHN) and grant from certain collaborating countries. This work has resulted in several advocacy papers in Asia [21,38,39] and nurtured cross-learning between respective countries.

N2 - Indonesia is a low-middle income country in Southeast Asia, as well as the world's fourth most populous and largest archipelagic nation. Indonesia has approximately 1,300 ethnic groups that speak 800 different languages and are typically collectivist and religiously devout. With an aging population and an increasing number of cancer patients, palliative care in the country remains scarcely available, disproportionally distributed, and underfunded. All of these factors (economic level, geographical and cultural landscapes, and palliative care level of development) pose a considerable impact on the adoption of advance care planning in Indonesia. Nonetheless, recent advocacy initiatives promise some hopes in advance care planning in Indonesia. Furthermore, local studies suggested opportunities to implement advance care planning, particularly through capacity building and a culturally sensitive approach to it. This article describes the present situation of advance care planning in Indonesia, including its challenges and opportunities.
