JAKARTA - Deputy Governor of DKI Jakarta, Ahmad Riza Patria, admitted that the ranks of the DKI Health Office will monitor compliance with the implementation of the PCR test price, which is now set at IDR 425 thousand in Java and Bali.
"Supervision is still being carried out, there is the Ministry of Health, there are officers from us, the Health Service ensures that all processes, procurement, prices are affordable", said Riza at DKI City Hall, Central Jakarta, Wednesday, August 18.
Riza said the DKI Health Office would soon issue a circular following up on the latest PCR pricing by the Ministry of Health.
"I think it will come out in the not too distant future, we'll wait", he said.
Riza views that the current reduction in the highest tariff for COVID-19 examinations has been fairly cheap. However, he hopes the test price will fall again soon.
"Looking at the Ministry of Health report, thank God our prices (PCR tests) are among the cheapest after Vietnam. Hopefully, it will continue to be cheaper in the future", he said.

Previously, the Ministry of Health set the highest tariff reduction for the PCR test fee of IDR 495,000 in Java-Bali and IDR 525 thousand outside Java-Bali.
Director-General of Health Services at the Ministry of Health, Abdul Kadir, said that all health care facilities that provide paid PCR must comply with this rule. Kadir asked the local Health Office to oversee its implementation.
"We ask for this supervision to be carried out by the provincial health office, district, and city health offices. We hope that all of us follow, have good intentions to follow this rule", said Kadir on Monday, August 16.
Kadir said that the Regional Health Offices were also asked to impose sanctions if there were health service facilities that violated the new PCR tariff rules.
"The authority to impose sanctions is given to the respective district/city health offices", he said.
