JAKARTA - The Chairperson of the Medical Ethics Honorary Council (MKEK) of the Indonesian Doctors Association (IDI) Dr. Pukovisa Prawiroharjo said his party was waiting for Dr. Lois Owien's statement regarding his membership in IDI.

Along with the news that Dr Lois is not a member of IDI even his practice license has expired since 2017. "Yes, it needs to be clarified first," said Dr Pukovis to VOI, Monday, July 12.

However, Dr. Pukovisa admits that based on data from the Indonesian Medical Council (KKI) and IDI, the person concerned is not on the list.

"Yes, I got information from him first. In the KKI and IDI databases, which obviously have expired," he said.

Regarding the IDI summons which was rejected by Dr. Lois, Dr. Pukovisa said that he would see the process going forward. The last information he got, Dr. Lois had been detained by the authorities.

It is known, the name of dr. Lois became a conversation after believing that the patients who died in the hospital were not caused by the corona virus, but because of excessive drug interactions.

He said that the drugs used for COVID-19 patients had caused complications in the body.
