TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - President Joko "Jokowi" Widodo inaugurated the launch of the hospital-based medical residency programs on Monday, May 6, at the courtyard of Harapan Kita Mother and Child Hospital in Palmerah, West Jakarta.
The Health Ministry has officially opened six specialist medical study programs at six hospitals, encompassing areas such as ophthalmology, cardiology, pediatrics, neurology, orthopedics, and oncology.
The President highlighted the significance of the country's health infrastructure in the long run. He pointed out that despite deploying various advanced medical technologies to provinces, districts, and cities, specialists remain lacking.
2. Prabowo Urged Not to Bring 'Toxic' People into Cabinet
TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Coordinating Minister for Maritime Affairs and Investment Luhut Binsar Pandjaitan’s suggestion to President-elect Prabowo Subianto not to include ‘toxic’ people in the new cabinet has sparked a polemic. What does Luhut mean?
Jodi Mahardi, Luhut's spokesperson, explained that the senior minister used the term 'toxic' to refer to parties who have the potential to obstruct the progress of the Prabowo-Gibran Rakabuming Raka government.
“Pak Luhut uses the term 'toxic' to refer to parties who tend to hinder the progress of the cabinet program because they are not in line with the designed vision and goals,” Jodi told Tempo on Sunday, May 5.
3. Indonesia's Hot Weather Is Not Heatwave, Says BMKG
TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Scorching hot weather that has recently hit Indonesia is not a heatwave, said Dwikorita Karnawati, the head of the Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysics Agency (BMKG). Based on the agency’s analysis, this phenomenon could not be categorized as a heatwave.
"It's true that a heat wave is currently hitting various Asian countries, such as Thailand with a maximum temperature reaching 52°Celsius. Cambodia where the air temperature reached the highest level in the last 170 years at 43°Celsius this week. But what is happening in Indonesia is not a heatwave, but the usual hot temperatures,” Dwikorita said as quoted from a press release on Monday, May 6.
