Minister of Health (Menkes) Budi Gunadi Sadikin said the PeduliLindung application would be used as an individual health data bank that could also be used to see the health of the population on the One Healthy platform.

"Later PeduliLindung, we will transform it to the One Healthy platform, where friends who have it can use it, the function is not only vaccines and scanning, but can know what immunization of children we have used, blood check in the laboratory, general check-up entry, until the video, CT scan, MRI enters," said the Minister of Health at the Jakarta Presidential Office on Monday, January 2, confiscated by Antara.

President Jokowi announced that the government will revoke the Implementation of Community Activity Restrictions (PPKM) based on the Instruction of the Minister of Home Affairs Number 50 and 51 of 2022. The revocation will start December 30, 2022, so that the use of the PeduliLindung application in a number of public places is no longer mandatory.

According to the Minister of Health, the government is preparing an electronic-based government system through the One Data Indonesia platform which contains health, financial, social data to natural resources.

"We are a sub-sector, a technology system called "One Healthy", part of One Data. We are given a deadline until 2023 so that all health facilities, hospitals, health centers, clinics, pharmacies, laboratories, must be integrated with One Healthy data so that the community can use it," he said.

This means, said Budi Gunadi, if people buy drugs at pharmacies, the data on drug purchases will go to One Healthy.

"For example, using Apple or Samsung Watch has been directly integrated and belongs to an individual, now it belongs to a health facility. Later it will belong to an individual, so if he is sick he can share data with a doctor and a doctor can see what his record is like, well, he is diligent in running, his heart is healthy, but buy medicine at a pharmacy for stomach pain," he said.

By having a patient's health data recording directly from the patient, it is hoped that doctors will know the patient's illness more quickly.

"This can be used by local governments, health offices to understand populative health, population health at village levels, sub-districts, regencies and cities, so that intervention is more appropriate, specific, data-based, effective and efficient," said Budi.

Budi Gunadi said that Satu Sehat's plan was completed by the end of 2023. "By the end of 2023, everything is integrated and in 2024 we just have to take advantage of it," he said.
