00:05President Jokoidodo held a meeting discussing the handling of monkey feces or mpox in Istana Merdeka, Jakarta.
00:11In the meeting, the Minister of the Indonesian Cabinet was present.
00:15Minister of Health Budi Gunadi Sadiqin stated that the spread of mpox in Indonesia
00:19is still controlled with a total of 88 cases since 2022,
00:23where 100% of patients are said to be cured.
00:26He also emphasized that mpox transmission is similar to HIV AIDS,
00:30that is, through physical contact, and generally occurs in certain groups.
00:35To minimize the spread of the virus, a number of preventive measures will be taken,
00:39such as the provision of vaccines, activation of surveillance cards,
00:44such as protective gears, and also the availability of health facilities.
00:48The Minister of Health emphasized the importance of people's awareness
00:51of monkey feces or mpox disease.
00:54He also emphasized that people do not need to worry excessively.
00:59Moreover, in 2023, the most cases of mpox occurred in the Java and Riau Islands.
01:09This means that the medicine is already available.
01:13Made in America, made in India, Indonesia also has the medicine.
01:19Third, the vaccine is also available.
01:23For people born under the age of 70, like me,
01:28we used to be vaccinated.
01:30It provides protection.
01:33So, those who are relatively old, like me, are protected.
01:40For the young, the new generation of vaccines is already available.
01:45One is produced in Denmark, one is produced in Japan.
01:50Indonesia, in 2022, when it was listed as a pandemic,
01:55has received 1,000 vaccines from Denmark,
01:58and we have given it to people who are at high risk.
02:04For your information, this transmission is similar to HIV and AIDS.
02:10So, it happens in certain groups, and almost all of them happen because of mpox.
