JAKARTA - Minister of Health (Menkes) Budi Gunadi Sadikin ensures that drugs for all acute kidney failure patients are provided free of charge
The drug for progressive atypical acute kidney disorders or Acute Kidney Injuries aka AKI is anti-dotum Photopizole injection.
"We can conclude that this drug (Fomepizole) has a positive impact and we will accelerate its arrival to Indonesia so that children can be saved," said the Minister of Health in a written statement, quoted from Antara, Tuesday, October 25.
He said Indonesia had brought in Fomepizole from Singapore. The acute kidney failure drug was then tested on 10 of the 11 MMR patients at the Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital (RSCM) Jakarta. As a result, the patient's condition improved, partially stable.
The Minister of Health added that patients who were initially unable to urinate, even with dialysis, did not provide any repairs, but after being given the drug it began to improve little by little.
Furthermore, similar drugs will be imported from Australia, the United States, and Japan.
He said the RSCM would distribute it to government hospitals which are referrals in the province, Budi said.
"We will provide the medicine to AKI patients for free. This is what we are preparing to provide advice to distribute it to all government hospitals treating MMR patients," he said.
