JAMBI- The provincial government (Pemprov) of Jambi will soon destroy expired drugs in Raden Mataher Hospital, which has a value of billions of rupiah since 2014 until now.
Jambi Governor Al Haris said that his party understands the importance of maintaining the safety of medicine supplies, as well as compliance with applicable regulations so that expired drugs at Raden Mattaherang Hospital will be destroyed immediately.
Raden Mattaher Hospital has realized and taken the necessary follow-up steps. The process of destroying expired drugs has been proposed and is in the process of being implemented.
"We recognize the importance of destroying expired drugs, in accordance with applicable regulations and will ensure that these actions are carried out correctly and on time," Al Haris said as quoted by ANTARA, Monday, July 17.
The Jambi Provincial Government is committed to improving the supply and monitoring management system for medicines and medical equipment BHPs, as well as ensuring the destruction of expired drugs is carried out regularly and in accordance with applicable regulations.
Previously, the Jambi Provincial Secretary Sudirman said that to carry out the destruction there were stages that had to be done because this was related to state money that had been used to buy the drug and the Raden Mataher Hospital had proposed to the Jambi Governor through the Director of the RSUD to carry out the destruction.
Then the Governor of Jambi will give a disposition to the Regional Financial and Revenue Management Office (DPKPD) to follow up and after that the drug assets will be calculated because they are related to state money and anything that will be destroyed.
Meanwhile, the Director of Raden Mattaher Jambi Hospital, through Deputy Finance Director Ferdiansyah, did not deny the findings of expired drugs that had not yet been destroyed and had been proposed from the pharmaceutical agency to the director and in the future the pharmaceutical installation of Raden Mattaher Hospital must also be able to prepare more careful planning so that there are no more drugs that seem redundant due to expiration.
The pharmaceutical installation function guarantees the availability of drugs. Pharmaceutical installations must be able to make drug needs planning based on history where it can be seen from the previous years, what are they usually used, then so that the drug is not empty there must be a buffer stock minimum.
"For example, certain drugs, if they have passed at least they must be held again and do not let the drug run out, later when the patient needs empty medicine, it will be difficult for us," he said.
