IDI's concern

From Neraca

In connection with the beating of a physician performing his professional duties at Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital, Jakarta, the Executive Board of the Indonesian Medical Association (IDI) would like to state the following: 1. A physician does a noble job and always upholds humanitarian values. He carries out his duty on the basis of the principle of maintaining the noble dignity of the medical profession in accordance with the physicians' oath and the medical code of conduct. In the area of forensic medicine, this noble duty is always carried out on the basis of the legal interest (pro justicia) as requested by the authorities. 2. To our victimized colleagues, please note that we share your sufferings. We hope that you can be patient until this matter is settled by the authorities. 3. To ensure that similar incidents will not reoccur, we call on the authorities to settle this matter in accordance with the prevailing regulations. 4. We would like to call on the government institution where the physicians perform their professional duties to take action as soon as possible to avoid uncalled for consequences and prevent this incident from escalating.
