JAKARTA - Former investigator of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) Yudi Purnomo asked the Minister of Health (Menkes) Budi Gunadi Sadikin to report the sale and purchase of recommendations for issuing doctor practices. He reminded that this allegation is a form of corruption that must be investigated. "If it is true that what the minister said, deposit is a corrupt practice, the minister must have the courage to dismantle the perpetrators regardless of who he is," Yudi said in a post on his Twitter account, @yudiharahap46 quoted on Monday, January 30. Reports to law enforcement officials need to be made so that deposit recipients can be held accountable for their actions. Yudi said, the habit of depositing money damaged a transparent and accountable system. Not only that, this practice also creates injustice. "Because those who don't have money can't do anything and those who have money after depositing certainly want to return the capital," he said. "Don't let this one of the causes of expensive health costs," continued Yudi. In addition, Budi's statement must also be proven through reporting to law enforcement officials. Moreover, it is stated that there are individuals in professional organizations who participate. Moreover, the security of the reporter must also be guaranteed. There is a whistle blower system that can close the identity. "Once you get the information of the reporter as the entrance, of course the strategy (used, ed) opens from the other side so that you don't guess who the reporter is, so the reporter's career remains safe," Yudi explained. Previously, Minister of Health Budi Gunadi mentioned the existence of deposit money that doctors had to submit to certain parties to get practical recommendations. He admitted that he heard this from a number of doctors in the country. It's just that, it's difficult to find the culprit. Moreover, they usually advise not to let this fact spread while the victim is silent for fear. "It's like farting. It smells but I don't know (who, red) because people will be afraid when he admits that his career or recommendations will be threatened in the future," Budi said in a webinar YouTube show entitled 'Polemic of Doctor's Practice Permit Recommendation' on YouTube Indonesian Doctors Association (IDI) Riau Region, quoted Monday, January 30. In addition to buying and selling permits, Minister of Health Budi also heard the story of nepotism in this process from doctors in the country. "Some friends find it difficult to enter the recommendations if, for example, a rival with their child provides recommendations there," he said. The last problem is that it is difficult to issue recommendations to specialist doctors to certain areas. Even though the staff there are very lacking.
