JAKARTA - President Director of PT Industri Jamu dan Farmasi Sido Muncul Tbk (SIDO), Dr. (H.C.) Irwan Hidayat, encourages Indonesia's independence in the use of drugs based on natural ingredients.
"At least we can be independent in traditional medicines. This is part of an effort to make the public more familiar with and utilize the potential of Indonesian herbs," he said at the launch of Sido HerbalPedia, Thursday, April 23.
In line with technological developments and increasing public awareness of a healthy lifestyle, SIDO presents a digital innovation in the form of an herbal-based health information platform, namely Sido HerbalPedia and SiHerbie.
Irwan explained that the launch of Sido HerbalPedia aims to provide information about herbs and health. In the midst of the current information flow, the public is indeed increasingly easy to access various sources quickly.
However, the abundance of information often makes it difficult because not all of them are accurate.
"Therefore, we present Sido HerbalPedia with the spirit of providing reliable and trustworthy herbal information," he said.
He added that all content was compiled based on research journals, and curated by a team that refers to trusted scientific sources.
For information, Sido HerbalPedia can be accessed through the official website https://sidoherbalpedia.com/, and presents three main features.
First, Herbal Literature which contains plant profiles, benefits, and scientific studies. Second, Holistic Health Care which provides education on healthy lifestyles based on a holistic approach.
Third, SiHerbie which serves as a digital assistant to provide recommendations for herbal and natural products that have been standardized, halal, and produced hygienically.
"We hope that this step can encourage the community to improve the quality of public health, so that a healthier and happier life can be realized for more people", said Irwan.
