Prabowo's Message: Doctors Must Get Enough Rest, So Patient Surgery Doesn't Fail

JAKARTA - Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto advised doctors to have sufficient rest so that they can make the right decisions, especially during the operation of patients.

President Prabowo when inaugurating the Integrated Service Building and the National Neuroscience Institute of the National Brain Center Hospital (PON Hospital) Mahar Mardjono in Jakarta, Tuesday, said ministers in the Red and White Cabinet work up to seven days a week, even on the red date. However, the President will give you a break before making a decision.

"I will give you enough time to rest. Because what we need from you is leadership management, the best decision. Best decision means you have to be in a fresh condition, especially if the doctor is not fresh, the operation will not be good. So doctors must also get enough rest," said President Prabowo.

In his remarks, the President advised the hospital head that doctors should be given sufficient time to rest.
