Two malpractice cases a month

JAKARTA: West Jakarta Health Agency office head Indrawati Hadi
said on Wednesday that two malpractice cases were reported to her
office every month, as reported by beritajakarta.com on
Wednesday.

Chairman of the Indonesian Doctors Association Kerkutanto said
Jakarta had the highest number of malpractice cases in the
country.

"This is caused by a lack of discipline among doctors, the
presence of quacks, ignorance and lack of skill," he said.

Meanwhile, West Jakarta Mayor Fadjar Pandjaitan urged all
general practitioners and dentists, especially those working at
public health centers (Puskesmas), to fully understand and obey
all written regulations and to work professionally. --JP
