JAKARTA - The Legislation Body (Baleg) of the DPR has opened suggestions and input regarding the Draft Law (RUU) on the Omnibus Law on Health which has received massive rejection in various regions. The DPR as the proposer stated that it was ready to think again regarding the continuation of the discussion of the bill.

Member of the DPR Baleg from the PAN faction, Guspardi Gaus, said that currently the DPR is asking for input and opinions from experts and professional associations as well as community groups regarding the Health Bill. According to him, the bill must be discussed very carefully.

"Health stakeholders need to provide input and synergy so that their demands can really be heard by the government," Guspardi told reporters, Monday, December 5.

The West Sumatra electoral district PAN legislator said the Health Bill had been included in the national legislation program (prolegnas). However, proposing the Health Bill to enter the National Legislation Program is technical. Therefore, the DPR will see which ones need to be prioritized and which are not necessary.

"So, don't go into apriori first with the Health Bill," he said.

Guspardi explained that the purpose of the Health Bill is to organize the national health system to be better. For example, he said, related to health workers and the availability of drugs.

Therefore, Guspardi emphasized that the DPR wants to get input and suggestions from all elements of society and is expected to participate and contribute. "We are very transparent and open to input," he said. That way, added Guspardi, the discourse that develops can be morally and academically accounted for. "Even if there is a rejection from the public, please convey it with rational arguments. God willing, we will study it together," he concluded.
