The Health Ministry has issued a warning to Mayapada Hospital in Tangerang, Banten, for hiring foreign unregistered oncology consultants who did not have a practice license.
“The doctors at Mayapada Hospital did not have any permits. We don’t forbid people from working in Indonesia, but they must follow the rules, so we gave them a warning,” Farid W Husein, the director general of the ministry’s Medical Service Department, told Metro TV on Wednesday.
Farid said that the government had also asked the hospital to announce to the public that they had terminated the service. Previously, Mayapada had placed an advertisement in a national newspaper about the foreign oncologists. The hospital had confirmed they would remove the advertisement and publish an apology.
Farid said the government prevents health institutions from hiring foreign medical workers without official permission from the Health Ministry and Director General of Medical Service. Permission is given based on a recommendation from the local health office and professional organizations.
The Ministry’s legal adviser Faiq Bahfen said that the government would apply penalties to foreign doctors who practiced in Indonesia without registration and a practice permit. The penalty would also apply to the institution that hired them.
“We will look at the regulation and determine the proper penalties,” he said.
