JAKARTA - Chief Justice of the Constitutional Court (MK) Anwar Usman stated that he was ready to accept a request for judicial review from community groups against the Health Law which had just been ratified by the DPR.

"Yes, you have to (ready). Legal obligations," said Anwar Usmanusai attending the 2023 Hoegeng Awards Awards Peak Night in Jakarta, reported by ANTARA, Friday, July 14.

Anwar did not comment on the ratification of the Health Law. If there are parties who apply to conduct a test of the law, the Constitutional Court will accept, examine, and decide according to the authority of the Court.

"If there is, yes, we have to accept and have to check and then have to decide. How is the decision? It's waiting, yes," said Anwar Usman.

The DPR Plenary Session approved the ratification of the Draft Health Law into law in a plenary meeting at the Parliament Complex, Senayan, Jakarta.

Minister of Health (Menkes) Budi Gunadi Sadikin, in the plenary of the Health Bill said the government had carried out at least 115 activities in the context of public participation in the discussion of the bill.

The Ministry of Health (Kemenkes) has also held 1,200 discussion agendas involving 27,000 participants from stakeholders to produce 6,011 inputs related to the Health Bill.

Responding to the ratification of the Health Law, the Executive Board of the Indonesian Doctors Association (PB IDI) together with four professional organizations for health workers 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 in his statement in Jakarta, Wednesday (12/7).

Adib assessed that the Health Law was legally flawed because it was prepared in a hurry, not transparent, and did not pay attention to the aspirations of all groups, including health workers.

IDI together with the Indonesian National Nurses Association (PPNI), the Indonesian Midwives Association (IBI), the Indonesian Dental Association (PDGI), and the Indonesian Pharmacists Association (IAI) are preparing a judicial review of the Health Law.
