As Minister of Health, I feel like a failure. Why do our friends die so young? We should always strive to provide the best possible service. There are shortcomings, but we are constantly improving them,\" he explained.The controversy originated when a BPJS patient, Yurizal, shared his frustrating experience waiting for an inpatient room on the social media platform Threads. He stated that he had been left without an assigned hospital bed after waiting for eight hours. The post subsequently drew sharp, dismissive remarks from several accounts whose owners were later identified as healthcare workers, sparking widespread public outcry.Reacting to the incident, Asep Rommy Romaya, a member of Commission IX of the House of Representatives (DPR), urged healthcare personnel to uphold ethical standards across digital platforms. He stressed that medical professionals retain a clear moral obligation whenever they voice opinions online.\"We remind healthcare workers that even on social media, they are still civil servants with a high moral responsibility. They must be careful when commenting or responding to issues or events because the impact can be long-lasting,\" he stated.Asep added that working in healthcare represents a humanitarian calling rather than a mere vocation, meaning professionalism must be reflected consistently, both in clinical settings and across personal social media activity.Read: How Rupiah Plunge Affects Indonesia's Pharmaceutical IndustryClick here to get the latest news updates from Tempo on Google News","kind":"highlight","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":false,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":false,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"isVideo":false,"video":null,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":0,"need_auth":false,"need_login_tip":false,"code":"91000000","status":"200"},"commentList":[],"isCommentEnd":true,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false},"APP":{"userAgent":"Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; ClaudeBot/1.0; +claudebot@anthropic.com)","isDev":false,"isTTM":true,"isLaohu8Offline":false,"tenantId":"TBGLOBAL","deviceId":"web-server-community-laohu8-v3","version":"4.47.1","shortVersion":"4.47.1","platform":"web","vendor":"web","appName":"ttm","isIOS":false,"isAndroid":false,"isTiger":false,"isTHS":false,"isWeiXin":false,"isWeiXinMini":false,"isWeiBo":false,"isQQ":false,"isBaiduSwan":false,"isBaiduBox":false,"isDingTalk":false,"isToutiao":false,"isOnePlus":false,"isHuaWei":false,"isXiaomi":false,"isXiaomiWebView":false,"isOppo":false,"isVivo":false,"isSamsung":false,"isMobile":false},"href":"/m/news/2657562996","isCrawlerRequest":true}
