"Deciding, determining, passing on the results of the MKEK special session which has decided a permanent dismissal of colleague Dr. dr. Terawan Agus Putranto as a member of IDI," the session's presidium chairman, Abdul Azis , said in a press release on Sunday, March 27, 2022.

Bad Precedent
Member of the Commission IX of the Indonesian House of Representatives (DPR) Saleh Partaonan Daulay has expressed regret over the dismissal of Dr dr. Terawan Agus Putranto from the Indonesian Medical Association (IDI).
"I am shocked with the decision. A congress should have become a forum for consolidation and friendship in knitting unity. How come it's instead used as a forum for dismissal. Moreover, it's permanent (dismissal). It's strange, isn't it?" Daulay said in a press release here on Sunday.
Indonesia's Honorary Council for Medical Ethics (MKEK) in a special session held at the 31st Congress of IDI organized in Banda Aceh City, Aceh, Friday (25/3), decided to permanently expel Terawan Putranto, former health minister, from the IDI membership.
Terawan is one of Indonesia's best doctors. As a doctor and military personnel, has made a lot of achievements, according to Daulay, chairman of the Faction of PAN (National Mandate Party). The lawmaker urged the Health Ministry to take an action and facilitate a meeting between IDI and dr Terawan.
"Several activities of Dr. Terawan have been questioned, for example, concerning DSA (Digital Subtraction Angiography) and Nusantara vaccine. My family and I are dr. Terawan's patients who tried both of them. After being DSA, there was no problem. In fact, we feel relief and comfortable. Likewise with the Nusantara vaccine Nusantara. After being vaccinated, Alhamdulillah, there are no problems. So far, we are fine," he said.
Based on his experiences, he said that Terawan has worked professionally. The legislator said the dismissal of Terawan might set a bad precedent.
