Investigate 2 New Cases Of Accounting For Acute Kidneys, The National Police Have 'alone' BPOM On Supervision

JAKARTA - The National Police will investigate the emergence of two new cases of acute progressive kidney failure (GGAPA) in Jakarta. The initial investigation will focus on what is consumed. Meanwhile, from the two cases, one of the patients died.

"The team is working to trace again what the patient consumed," said the Director of Certain Crimes at the National Police Criminal Investigation Agency Brigadier General Pipit Rismanto when confirmed, Monday, February 6.

However, when asked about the supervision of drug trafficking which is suspected to be the cause of the GGAPA case, Pipit was reluctant to comment.

He asked for the same question to be conveyed to the Food and Drug Supervisory Agency (BPOM). This is because the institution has the authority to do this.

"Let's ask the BPOM directly, I think BPOM needs to explain to the public how the supervision is so that similar cases can pass," said Pipit.

Spokesperson for the Ministry of Health M. Syahril said that currently there are two new cases of GGAPA in Jakarta after no new cases since early December last year. One patient in the acute kidney failure case died.

With the report of additional new cases of GGAPA, as of February 5, 326 GGAPA cases were recorded and one suspect spread across 27 provinces in Indonesia. Of these, 116 cases were declared cured, while six cases are still undergoing treatment at the Jakarta RSCM.

"The addition of cases was recorded this year, one case was confirmed by GGAPA and one suspected case," said Syahril
