JAKARTA - The Director General of Metal, Machinery, Transportation Equipment and Electronics (ILMATE) of the Ministry of Industry, Taufiek Bawazier, said the medical device industry needs full support to be more independent. Taufiek said the success of the domestic industry in producing ventilators requires support from the central government and local governments to buy these domestic products (PDN). “ The existence of domestic ventilator industry supports the substitution program for importing medical devices. As has been proclaimed by President Joko Widodo to use domestically made products, the Ministry of Industry continues to support the growth and independence of the medical device industry," Taufiek said in a statement in Jakarta, quoted from Antara, Friday, October 7. The trick, continued Taufiek, is to provide various policies that are conducive and instruments that favor the domestic medical device industry. The purchase of a ventilator PDN is also considered to be able to optimize the government's spending potential of IDR 400 trillion. In the context of the Program to Increase the Use of Domestic Products (P3DN), the Ministry of Industry expects budget users to prioritize the purchase of domestically produced ventilators through the LKPP electronic catalog (e-catalog). On the other hand, the Ministry of Industry hopes that the industry can optimally meet the medical device market by improving its quality. “ The fulfillment of domestic markets will also contribute to countries and regions in the form of taxes, added economic value, and equitable distribution of the economy, ” explained Taufiek.
