The administration of the Health Worker Registration Certificate (STRTK) of the Lampung Province Pharmacist Association (PAFI) and the Lampung Province Health Office (Dinkes) is suspected of being full of illegal levies (pungli). The cost of extending the STRTK, which should be IDR 100 thousand, has ballooned to IDR 700 thousand per person.

Several Lampungpro.com sources who asked to remain anonymous said that the extortion practice went smoothly because of cooperation between PAFI administrators and Dinkes officials in charge of STRTK permits. Pafipamenang.org  involvement was because the requirement to apply was to get a PAFI recommendation. “The administration fee reaches IDR 700 thousand,” said the source, Thursday (5/23/2019).

The source explained that to extend the STRTK, you only need to pay a recommendation fee of IDR 50 thousand. The requirements are a photocopy of the STRTK, KTP, passport photo, and a certificate of good health. However, the receipt submitted to Lampungpro.com listed a fee of IDR 675 thousand for payment of the STRTK extension.

For impression workers who want to get STRTK, the extortion is even greater. In fact, officially, it is only IDR 160 thousand. However, from the receipt attached to Lampungpro.com, it is listed as IDR 1.2 million.

The extortion has been going on for the last two years. The victims are graduates of D3 Pharmacy, pharmacy high schools, and pharmacist assistant schools. In addition, those who work in pharmacies, drug stores, hospitals, and pharmaceutical wholesalers.

Responding to this, the Head of the Lampung Provincial Health Office, Reihana, said that the collection of fees was beyond the authority of the Lampung Provincial Health Office. According to Reihana, each profession has the authority to regulate fees according to the AD/ART of each profession.

“Likewise for PAFI recommendations, the costs are with the PAFI Regional Management or PAFI Branch Management. To confirm the costs, you can contact each professional organization, both PAFI Regional Management and PAFI Branch Management, so not the Health Office,” said Reihana, https://pafipamenang.org
