Bill on medical practitioners<\/p>\n
JAKARTA: The House of Representatives is hoping to advance a
\nbill focusing on medical practitioners, which aims to protect the
\npublic, while improving legal certainty in the health services.<\/p>\n
The proposal was raised by Ahmad Sanusi, vice chairman of the
\nHouse Commission VII on Health, at the House plenary session in
\nJakarta on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
Ahmad said that Law No.23\/1992 has maximally regulated medical
\npractitioners. \"The government's role is too dominant even
\nthough, in reality, the health issue develops dynamically,\" he
\nsaid.<\/p>\n
Ahmad said the medical practitioners have been equipped with
\nsupport from the code of ethics, but are also considered
\nincapable of accommodating the public's sense of fairness.<\/p>\n
He said that a new law is needed to adjust the development of
\nmedical personnel and the rising trend of complaints regarding
\nhealth services through the mass media, professional
\ninstitutions, courts and consumers' foundation. -- Antara<\/p>",
