JAKARTA - Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives Abdul Muhaimin Iskandar alias Cak Imin asked the Ministry of Health (Kemenkes) to improve the quality and image of national health services.
This was conveyed by Cak Imin after the emergence of netizen uploads comparing the quality of treatment in Penang, Malaysia, and in Indonesia.
"Comparisons of such health services are quite common. I think this should be used as momentum by the Ministry of Health to improve the quality and image of our health services for the better," he said in a written statement, Tuesday, May 30, which was confiscated by Antara.
According to him, the Ministry of Health should improve the quality and image of health services in the country because health services are the primary needs of the community that must be facilitated properly by the state, as mandated by Article 28H paragraph (1) of the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia.
The article states that everyone has the right to life prosperous and inner, to live, to have a good and healthy environment, and to have the right to health services.
"We all have the right to good health services. This is guaranteed by the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia. Article 28H clearly states that every citizen has the right to receive health services," said the General Chairperson of the PKB.
