MAKASSAR - Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs (Menko Polhukam) Mahfud MD invited those who submitted a judicial review of the Health Law to the Constitutional Court (MK).

"Because this has been completed, it has taken effect. However, some feel it is still very important to change, there is still a Constitutional Court, please go there later, explain the reason," Mahfud said in Makassar as reported by ANTARA, Thursday, July 13.

According to him, every ratification of the Law (UU) there must be those who agree and disagree

However, if the bill has been passed into law, there are still other legal channels that regulate objection procedures through the Constitutional Court.

"Not only health laws, any laws, if they are discussed, there must be an agreement that some do not. After it is ratified, it must be like that," continued Mahfud.

"If you are still dissatisfied and want the Health Law not to apply, which is now some of the material, the constitution invites to test the material to the Constitutional Court," said the former Chief Justice of the Constitutional Court.

Previously, the Executive Board of the Indonesian Doctors Association (PB-IDI) together with four professional organizations took legal steps in the form of submitting a judicial review of the Health Law to the Constitutional Court.

"We from IDI together with four professional organizations will prepare legal remedies as part of our duties as law-abiding communities to submit a judicial review," said Chairman of PB IDI Adib Khumaidi.

Adib assessed that the Health Law was legally flawed because it was prepared in a hurry and not transparent manner without paying attention to the aspirations of all groups, including the health profession.

In addition, said Adib, there are still many substances in the Health Law that have not met the health interests of the Indonesian people. IDI also highlighted the revocation of nine old laws that were resolved in the Omnibus Law Health Law within six months.
