JAKARTA - The Coordinating Ministry for Human Development and Culture (Kemenko PMK) stated that the implementation of the G20 encourages the strengthening of health architecture at the global level.

"Strengthening the health architecture at the global level is very important", said Deputy for the Coordination of Health Quality Improvement and Population Development at the Coordinating Ministry for Human Development and Culture Agus Suprapto when contacted in Jakarta, Monday, November 14, as reported by Antara.

With the strengthening of the health architecture, each member of the G20 can ensure that the health system has adequate capacity at the national, regional, and global levels.

Meanwhile, Agus also added that Indonesia's G20 Presidency in 2022 will provide many benefits, both directly and indirectly, to health security in the country.

"For example, the direct benefit of the G20 to Indonesia is the expansion of access to the health industry, technology, knowledge, to research in the health sector", he said.

The Indonesian nation, he said, should feel proud because the G20 Presidency of Indonesia in 2022 has opened up great opportunities for Indonesia. Especially in the health sector.

"Through the implementation of the G20, Indonesia will get many good opportunities and benefits, especially in the health sector", he said.

Agus Suprapto also reiterated that the collaboration of the G20 countries is expected to be a strength in responding to the threat of global health crises in the future.

At least 17 heads of state and government will be present at the 17th G20 Summit in Bali.
