Jokowi encourages relevant parties to investigate the reasons why Indonesian people do not want to seek medical treatment domestically. Every issue that poses a constraint is instructed by the president to be resolved immediately.

"Because our citizens do not want to seek medical treatment within the country, and there must be a reason why they do not want to seek medical treatment within the country. The issue must be resolved,"

"ujar Jokowi" in English is "said Jokowi."

               

Jokowi assesses that the problem of the large number of Indonesian citizens seeking medical treatment abroad is influenced by the ability to independently produce pharmaceutical raw materials and the completeness of medical equipment in the homeland. The President also encourages the immediate improvement of these needs.
