Abstract

Currently, the issue of some Indonesian people deciding to seek treatment abroad is being hotly discussed on social media. This study uses secondary data from Twitter.com with Social Network Analysis (SNA) which focuses on the relationship between the use of graphic theory which can be illustrated through presentations on a network to describe the perceptions of Indonesian Twitter users on the behavior of medical treatment abroad. The findings reveal that 37.39% of Twitter users reported reasons for going abroad for medical treatment while traveling, 23.48% for seeking a second opinion, 19.13% for the service system, 11.30% for doctors, 4.35% for access to information, 3.48% for reasons of privacy, and 0.87% due to trust issues.
