Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia – Minister of State-Owned Enterprises (BUMN) Erick Thohir checked the availability of ivermectin at three pharmacies owned by Kimia Farma in Jakarta, Monday (5/7/2021). On that occasion, Erick criticized the surge in the price of drugs used for prevention and treatment of Covid-19 in recent times.
“The prices on the market are currently very painful for the people in the midst of high demand and the number of Covid-19 patients who have died. Therefore, I have ordered Kimia Farma to immediately market ivermectin at prices according to the regulations of the Ministry of Health and BPOM and can only be obtained with a doctor’s prescription,” said Erick.
In addition to guaranteeing the availability of drugs for healing therapy at affordable prices, Erick also hopes that people will be wiser in meeting their drug needs by not buying them freely or getting them without a doctor’s prescription.
“They can get it directly at the installations of hospitals and clinics, as well as at Kimia Farma and other pharmacy networks. Since it has become a stipulation, then report any violations,” said Erick.
