        "summary": "President Prabowo Subianto has instructed the National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN) to prioritise research into affordable drug detection technologies. The initiative aims to strengthen rehabilitation efforts and address emerging threats, such as the use of vapes in drug distribution.",
        "content": "<p>The Head of BRIN, Arif Satria, stated that President Prabowo Subianto\nis placing significant emphasis on efforts to combat and eradicate\ndrugs. Prabowo has requested that BRIN conduct studies and innovate\nlow-cost tools to detect drug addiction.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cClearly, the President has a very strong commitment to saving future\ngenerations. Therefore, we have been asked to strengthen research and\ninnovation related to efforts to protect the generations to come,\u201d said\nArif at the Presidential Palace complex, Jakarta, on Tuesday\n(23\/09\/2026).<\/p>\n<p>Prabowo has also requested that BRIN expand and strengthen\nrehabilitation centres and methods. Additionally, BRIN has been tasked\nwith contributing to the development of drug addiction detection\ntechnologies.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSecondly, we have also been asked to conduct studies regarding\naffordable detection tools that can subsequently be used for prevention\npurposes,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Arif further noted that the use of vapes has become a new threat\nregarding drug circulation, echoing sentiments expressed by the Head of\nthe National Narcotics Board (BNN), Suyudi Ario Seto. According to\nmedical tests conducted by BRIN, vaping impacts user health,\nspecifically regarding diabetes, lung, and pancreas issues.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHowever, vapes also serve as a loophole that can be exploited for\ndrug distribution. Therefore, I believe this must be properly\nanticipated. Consequently, the Head of BNN and the Ministry of Health\nwill regulate this matter,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>On the same occasion, the Head of BRIN\u2019s Health Research\nOrganisation, Ni Luh Putu Indi Dharmayanti, stated that the drug\naddiction detection tools being studied by BRIN will be developed down\nto the genomic level. The genome represents the complete information or\ngenetic material possessed by a cell or organism.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYes, we will develop detection capabilities up to the genomic level\nfor addiction. Furthermore, once an individual has completed their\nrehabilitation, we will also provide such detection tools at the genomic\nlevel,\u201d she added.<\/p>",
