TERAWAN ANSWERING THE PROBLEMS OF BPJS

After Terawan was officially elected, he responded why the number of BPJS had a deficit because patients in several health services were given excessively. The high claims of cesarean section, which reached 260 trillion and 10.5 trillion for the treatment of heart disease in 2018, should be able to overcome the doctors. The unnecessary waste puts the burden of financing BPJS claims beyond the government's capacity.

Indonesia has a cesarean delivery rate of 45 percent, far above the WHO standard comparison of only 20 percent.

WHO

Dr. Terawan became popular before with the issue of 'brainwashing', a method of healing for stroke patients called Digital Substraction Angiography (DSA).

Former Vice President Try Sutrisno, Eks. BIN heads Hendropriyono and Dahlan Iskan are well-known figures among 40,000 stroke patients, who he claims have succeeded with the 'brainwashing' method of Digital Substraction Angiography (DSA).

"My dissertation at Hasanuddin University together with five other people means that six people become a fairly good research research. So as to produce 12 international journals and produce six doctors," he claimed regarding a question about his method.

One of the UGM connections, one of the ministers graduated from UGM who is trusted by Jokowi to handle health problems in the next five years.
