The COVID-19 pandemic has impelled several health facilities, including hospitals, to improve their quality of health services to the community via various innovations, Indonesian Vice President Ma’ruf Amin stated.
The vice president made the statement while delivering a keynote address at the Congress of All-Indonesian Islamic Health Efforts Council (MUKISI) online here on Saturday.
“I think the pandemic has exerted tremendous pressure on healthcare. However, this pressure also encourages hospitals to create innovations to improve their quality of health services,” the vice president stated from his official residence. Apart from enhancing their quality of health services, hospitals also create various innovations to realize sharia-certified health services in Indonesia.
The vice president is optimistic that all hospitals would maintain their quality of services and safeguard all health workers from contracting COVID-19.
“Despite increasing burden on hospitals during the pandemic, I am optimistic that they would continue to maintain their quality and continue to protect their health workers, who are at the forefront in providing health services during the pandemic,” he remarked. Amin praised MUKISI and all sharia hospitals in Indonesia for treating COVID-19 patients in accordance with Islamic values.
“I would like to thank MUKISI and praise them and all other sharia hospitals that remain committed to treating COVID-19 patients by implementing Islamic values, maqashidul sharia al Islamiyah, which is the goal of Islamic sharia,” he emphasized.
These sharia principles encompass upholding the patient’s faith through a spiritual approach, spiritual strengthening through good religious guidance, saving the patient’s life by offering the best health services according to procedures, and providing good advice on health issues.
