For this reason, he requested that the conditions of doctors and medical personnel in other countries be seen in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic as it is today.
If in other countries not many medical personnel have died, according to him, this is something that is wrong in Indonesia that needs to be corrected.
“It can be seen by other countries. If other countries are the same, it means this is a dilemma. We don’t need to regret it,” he said.
“But if in other countries there are not many doctors and we are many, it means that something is wrong with us. There is something wrong that needs to be corrected,” Maarif said.
