BPOM Head Taruna Ikrar said the programme is a response to the\nhigh number of natural medicine products found to contain medicinal\nchemicals (BKO) in the field. To break the chain of distribution of\nthese illegal herbal medicines, he said, the role of the community as\nconsumers, business actors, and regional governments is needed through\nthe IDAMAN Programme.<\/p>\n<p>During the period from January to April 2026, BPOM conducted\nsurveillance through sampling and testing of 1,851 natural medicine\nproducts. From that total, 87 product items were proven to contain\nmedicinal chemicals, he said in a statement in Jakarta on Wednesday. As\nanother example, during 2025, the agency sampled and tested 11,654\nnatural medicine products and health supplements, with 206 products\nproving to contain medicinal chemicals. BPOM\u2019s cyber patrols also\ndiscovered 39,386 links selling illegal or non-compliant natural\nmedicines.<\/p>\n<p>Regarding these various findings, BPOM has followed up by imposing\nadministrative sanctions and undertaking law enforcement actions\naccording to the level of violation found. He explained that the IDAMAN\nProgramme is an implementation of Presidential Regulation Number 54 of\n2023 concerning the Development and Utilisation of Jamu.<\/p>\n<p>This programme is designed as a national movement integrating\nsupervision, education, community empowerment, and business actor\ndevelopment through synergy between BPOM and regional governments, he\nsaid. Its implementation is carried out through interventions at the\ndistrict\/city level to realise IDAMAN districts\/cities.<\/p>\n<p>In the same statement, Central Java Deputy Governor Taj Yasin Maimoen\nresponded positively to the presence of the IDAMAN Programme. His region\nhas many herbal medicine centres or villages that have the potential to\nbe developed as part of strengthening the national herbal medicine\nindustry, empowering the community\u2019s economy, and also attracting\ntourists.
