A correction has been made to Section 2.1.2, the 1st paragraph. This paragraph previously stated:
“Some NGOs in Indonesia have experience in providing safe abortion in the effort to fill the unmet need for this service. Some have their own not-for-profit healthcare facilities, which are mostly outpatient-based, such as clinics and private practices. Some have also had experiences with remote-based or telecounseling. They have developed their own technical guidelines according to the WHO guideline and have their own trained providers. These NGOs have also been actively involved in safe abortion advocacy in Indonesia and are aware of the policy development (47–51). Considering their position, resources, and capabilities, the Indonesian Ministry of Health (MoH) could opt to provide safe abortions by contracting them as providers.”
The corrected paragraph appears below:

They also have extensive experiences in safe abortion advocacy in Indonesia and are aware of the policy development (47–49).

In the published article, there was an error. On section 2.1.2. Policy option 2, 3rd paragraph, shall be reworded.
A correction has been made to Section 2.1.2, the 3rd paragraph. This paragraph previously stated:
“However, there are also several disadvantages. These NGOs only have a limited number of healthcare facilities with limited geographical distribution. For example, Indonesia Planned Parenthood Association (IPPA) only has 23 clinics in 17 of 33 provinces in Indonesia, mostly in western-central Indonesia and urban areas (50). Contracting them as sole providers would leave some regions, especially eastern and rural Indonesia, without services. There would also be extra costs related to contract development and administrative or overhead costs. Some healthcare facilities run by NGOs are already parts of FKTP, but the number is still low (50). This would separate safe abortion from MNHC and FP programs in general. Separate financing and reporting mechanism would also be needed. In addition, providing an essential service through a third party or outside the public health system might compromise sustainability in future.”
The corrected paragraph appears below:
“However, there are also several disadvantages. The nonprofit private sectors only have a limited scale of reach for medical services with limited geographical distribution. This limited distribution can be due to revenue-driven, funder-driven, or urban-preference reasons. Contracting them as sole providers would leave some regions, especially eastern and rural Indonesia, without services. There would also be extra costs related to contract development and administrative or overhead costs. Services provided by the nonprofit private sector are also not yet connected to the public MNCH and FP programs, or the public health program in general. This would separate safe abortion from MNHC and FP programs in general. Separate financing and reporting mechanism would also be needed, which can complicate the governance and monitoring of the services. Additionally, providing an essential service through a third party or outside the public health system might compromise sustainability in the future.”
