        "summary": "The Indonesian Ministry of Health has implemented a new regulation granting indefinite validity to Medical Device Distribution Certificates (IDAK), aiming to reduce bureaucratic hurdles for medical device distributors. While simplifying administration, the government emphasizes that businesses must proactively update their data through an integrated system to maintain compliance. Failure to adhere to updated regulations, including reporting changes in company structure or operations, may result in the revocation of the permanent permit.",
        "content": "<p>The Ministry of Health has officially established regulatory\ntransformation through the implementation of an indefinite validity\nperiod for Medical Device Distribution Certificates (IDAK). This step is\na concrete implementation of Government Regulation (PP) Number 28 of\n2024, which aims to reduce bureaucracy and repetitive administrative\nburdens for medical device distributors throughout Indonesia. This\npolicy is taken to eliminate obstacles in the medical supply chain,\nwhich has often been hampered by routine permit extension processes\nevery five years. With the now permanent permit status, the stability of\nthe availability of medical devices in medical facilities is expected to\nbe more guaranteed and efficient. Although administration is simplified,\nthe government emphasizes that this \u2018lifetime\u2019 status is not absolute\nwithout supervision. Businesses are required to remain proactive in\nindependently updating data through the Ministry of Health\u2019s integrated\nsystem. Jihan Luthfiyah, Quality Site Management at Naramedic, stated\nthat this ease brings new responsibilities for industry players in\nmaintaining operational standards. \u201cThe implementation of a lifetime\nIDAK is a breath of fresh air for industrial efficiency. However, the\ncompany\u2019s responsibility now shifts to the consistency of maintaining\nstandards. Independent data updates in the Ministry of Health\u2019s system\nbecome a mandatory step so that the company\u2019s legality remains well\nintegrated,\u201d said Jihan in a statement on Friday (May 15, 2026). She\nalso emphasized that this lifetime status does not mean that businesses\ncan neglect changes in the company\u2019s internal structure. \u201cIt is\nimportant to understand that a lifetime IDAK does not mean that the\nreporting process is completely finished. If there are fundamental\nchanges such as the addition or reduction of medical device groups,\nchanges in the Technical Responsible Person (PJT), to changes in the\noffice or warehouse address, businesses are required to submit a change\nof IDAK. The government must still receive the latest information\nbecause the validity of the permit depends on the suitability of the\ndata on the ground with the data recorded in the system,\u201d added Jihan.\nTo ensure that the permit status remains valid and avoid sanctions for\nrevocation, medical device companies must pay attention to the following\nthree crucial points: The government warns that the simplification of\nregulations is balanced with stricter sanctions. Permanent permits can\nbe revoked at any time if violations of technical standards, deviations\nin distribution, or if the company no longer carries out actual business\nactivities are found. This transition is expected to not only reduce\ncompany operational costs but also accelerate public access to quality\ntechnology and medical devices throughout the country. (H-2)<\/p>",
