JAKARTA - Member of Commission IX of the DPR RI from the PDIP faction, Rahmad Handoyo, also responded to the formation of the All-Indonesian Doctors Association (PDSI) which was declared yesterday, Wednesday, April 27. According to him, there is no prohibition against creating new organizations in medicine.

"There is no prohibition against forming medical organizations, associations or whatever the name is. I have never seen and have never read of a prohibition against forming new organizations," said Rahmad Handoyo when contacted, Wednesday, April 27.

Instead, the PDIP politician said, the formation of PDSI should be a moment to unite to perfect the world of medicine. Because according to Rahmad, currently the Indonesian medical world still needs improvements that require good thoughts from government stakeholder doctors, IDI and PDSI.

"We use the birth of this new organization as a momentum to unite to collaborate, work together and join hands to improve and perfect the world of Indonesian medicine," said Rahmad. According to him, the cooperation of various parties is needed to provide good service to the community.

"We just think positively, IDI, PDSI or whatever organization it's called, please compete to advance Indonesian medicine, which still has big homework. We use it to unite to provide services to the community, if IDI unites, if PDSI is united, who will benefit? the people who profit," he explained. Regarding the formation of PDSI because of the hurt after the dismissal of the former Minister of Health, Dr. Terawan Agus Putranto, according to Rahmad, IDI should introspect. Did, he said, have IDI accommodated its members well or not? It is known that PDSI was formed by Terawan's special staff, Brigadier General (Ret.) dr. Jajang Edi Priyanto. "Regarding heartache and then forming a new organization, let's use it for introspection in terms of Indonesian medicine. Yes IDI, yes its members, yes the government, other stakeholders, has IDI accommodated its members with democracy, with full kinship?," said Rahmad.
