Fifth, hospital accreditation has run out as of June 11, 2022 and reccreditation must be carried out no later than December 2023 in accordance with the discretion of the Minister of Health. Sixth, the number of employees tends to be excessive in February 2023 as many as 657 people, with the amount of HR costs expenditure of 93.77 percent of total revenue in 2022.

Seventh, inadequate medical device facilities and infrastructure, both quality and quantity. Eighth, the management of State Property Assets (BMN) is not optimal and tends not to comply with the provisions.

Ninth, employees who often demonstrate due to their rights are not fulfilled, and finally, the issue of employee lawsuits and debts with vendors.

Bayu has also attached the efforts that have been made during his tenure as President Director to UIN Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta, namely reports and accountability for 100 working days of the President Director, writings on handling the crisis at the Jakarta Hajj Hospital, accreditation proposals, and Budget Business Plans (RBA) in 2023.
