JAKARTA - Minister of State-Owned Enterprises (BUMN) Erick Thohir ordered Kimia Farma and Indofarma as well as state-owned hospitals to re-examine the terms of medicines.

This step follows the emergence of cases of mysterious acute kidney disorders or acute child injury (AKI).

Erick emphasized that public safety and security must be a top priority in health services in SOEs.

"I have asked Kimia Farma from the start to check medicines, not only cough medicines, but other medicines that must be safe and suitable," said Erick in Jakarta, Friday, October 21.

Furthermore, Erick emphasized that SOEs must be able to provide a sense of security and comfort for the community in accessing health services. Erick also does not want the idea of gaining profit in the current situation, just like during the COVID-19 pandemic.

"We have to talk about safety, so I ask Kimia Farma to really take care so that people who are today struggling to add more are affected by drug issues that even take the lives of Indonesian children," he said.

Erick said that maximum prevention efforts were a concrete form of concern that occurred as a result of the deaths of a number of Indonesian children.

For this reason, Erick encourages Kimia Farma, Indofarma, BUMN Hospital, and Kimia Farma pharmacies to sort types of drugs that have no safe statement yet.

"We have to prepare that thoroughly," said Erick.
