00:00Minister of Health, please come to our meaningful meeting
00:04Dr. Sri, can I ask about the lack of housemanship in the hospital area?
00:09So, what steps have been taken by GKM?
00:12Maybe all or not all, maybe there are those who monitor the release of my act or my tweet
00:19Last week, I had a thread that I put out, three threads
00:25And I said that I take this matter seriously
00:30But everyone knows that what used to be released every year among 6,000 to 7,000 graduates
00:41But this time it has dropped a little
00:46It is very affected because almost like 50% deductions
00:51Only about 3,000 over fresh medical graduates
00:56So, it can be like that
01:00Indeed, originally, the Director-General did not put HOs in the regional hospitals
01:10But maybe some of you know, I have repeated this
01:14Even tonight, I will have an emergency meeting with my top management at GKM
01:26And will handle this matter
01:30I am confident that we will be able to have an intervention
01:36Or maybe we will change, I am not saying anything yet
01:42But I take it seriously
01:44So that the hospital situation, acute shortages of HOs in the hospital area
01:52I need to handle it
01:55And there is a readiness for that direction
01:57Tonight, we will make a decision, maybe on Tuesday
02:00We will discuss how this matter will be managed or implemented
02:06Has GKM taken any steps to encourage people to study medicine?
02:12Not yet
02:14This matter is not done in a surprising way
02:23Bismillah, I have mentioned in the GKM meeting
02:28We want to have a master plan
02:30A plan that is close to, sorry, medium
02:34And also far
02:36How the needs of all people
02:39From the point of view of health care
02:42Which is seen as being taken together
02:46Superimposed on the facilities that we build
02:50Very high level
02:52And I am confident that we will be able to handle this
02:56But not overnight
02:58Not in a short time
03:01But in that framework
03:05I have directed a master plan
03:12To be undertaken
03:14Because it seems like it has never been undertaken properly
03:17It is always like that
03:19Then it is finished in a piecemeal manner
03:23Just firefighting
