IDI Criticizes Prabowo's Mission to Build 300 Medical Faculties: Excessive, Better to Open Specialization Programs

"Dream - General Chairman of the Indonesian Medical Association (PB IDI) Mohamad Adib Khumaidi considers the plan of presidential candidate number 2 Prabowo Subianto to build 300 medical faculties (FK) in Indonesia as excessive."

"New Problem"

Adib said that excessive development of FK without considering the needs of each region will actually create new problems.

"(Addition) The addition of 300 medical faculties is very excessive. Very very excessive."

Adhib said that in creating a medical faculty, it should be based on the needs. If there are so many medical faculties created, then in the next five years, there will be a lot of medical graduates who become general practitioners. Consequently, there will be an overload of doctors in Indonesia.

"If we talk about production (producing doctors) without talking about allocation and distribution, we will be faced with the potential unemployment of intellectual profession, namely medical professionals. The unemployment of intellectual profession actually works as doctors but cannot find jobs."

When doctors become unemployed, it is very unfortunate. Moreover, the cost of medical education is expensive. Then, when they have graduated, the excessive number of doctors actually makes it impossible to find work.

"Specialist Doctor"

"It must start from knowing the number of doctor needs," said Adhib. Adhib emphasized that what is currently needed is specialist doctors. Meanwhile, if we open 300 medical faculties, it will produce general practitioners."

"However, what is needed is a specialist doctor. So currently, there is a need for the opening of specialist doctor programs according to the needs of each region, then what becomes the priority program in that region,""

"Number of Doctors"

Based on the latest data from the Indonesian Medical Council, the total number of doctors is 226,090. Out of that number, there are 173,247 general practitioners, while there are 52,843 specialist doctors.

"Previously, Prabowo Subianto promised to build modern hospitals in every district/city and modern health centers in every village throughout Indonesia if elected in the 2024 Presidential Election."

"To overcome the shortage of doctors and healthcare workers, Prabowo will provide scholarships for medical students to study abroad. 'We will immediately accelerate the solution to the shortage of doctors in Indonesia,' said Prabowo in the final presidential debate at JCC Senayan on Sunday, February 4, 2024. 'We are lacking around 140 thousand doctors, and we will address this by increasing the number of Medical Faculties in Indonesia. From the current 92, we will establish 300 Medical Faculties,' he added."
