Indonesia The Crisis Of The Forensic Doctors

In this province there are none forensic doctors

Despite the low return, with extraordinary skill, they should be combing the geographical areas that are difficult to reach, from one area to another, trying to solve a case crime so the public spotlightOriginal in Jayapura there was only Jimmy Sembay as a specialist forensic. Last year increased by one colleague, with a working area in Biak, an island with a beautiful landscape on the northern coast of Papua Province. In addition to handling cases in its own territory, Jimmy had to help the completion of cases in West Papua, the new province from the division of the year twenty- with its capital Manokwari. Last year, Jimmy handle a murder case in prison and the victim of the stabbing in West Papua. These two cases have been filtered from the many criminal actions that require forensic doctors in West Papua. “It's for the cases that could potentially heat, the potential chaos of society in West Papua, ” said Jimmy via phone, Monday. The power requested by Polda Papua Barat or through the Papua Police first. To access West Papua, with the mountainous terrain, he should use the plane that often takes two hours. “Basically all of the need to ensure the forensic doctors because it is the right of people. Indeed not fully served due to limited human resources, ” said Jimmy. Jimmy is an expert in a branch of science whose job is not to heal someone. However, its role is fundamental in strengthening the evidence of a case in process of investigation and court. The results of the examination the forensic doctor used as evidence in investigating, prosecuting, and adjudicating civil and criminal.

That's where the forensic doctor like Jimmy back and forth check the condition of the victim's body, living or dead, processing the crime scene, coordinate with the police, or become expert witnesses in court.

The opinion of the forensic doctor as Jimmy so important because the judges don't have the knowledge that adequate related to the anatomy of the human body. The role of the forensic dentist is to make sure the cause, manner, and time of death in the event of unnatural death such as murder, suicide, accident, or any type of other deaths that are suspicious. So also with the victim of the life he requires the explanation of the forensic doctor what happens medically in the case of persecution, rape, abortion, and so forth, forensic pathologist at the National General Hospital Dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo (RSCM), said the difference between the ordinary doctor and the forensic doctor. “If a regular doctor, people hacked then sewn and finished. If the forensic doctor to think again, 'This is when dibacoknya. Is it true that scar. Use of sharp weapons or blunt. The minotaur left hand or right hand, '” he told a reporter In Indonesia, the number of specialist forensic rare. Based on data collected by the Indonesian Medical Council, on the twenty-fourteen we only have forensics specialist doctors, on the twenty fifteen there are only. Of the thirty-four provinces, there are eleven provinces that the emptiness of the forensic doctors. Conditions that make the situation work of the forensic doctors on the verge. RSCM, Central Jakarta, for example, there are only Twelve doctors and forensic medikolegal. Djaja explain, in a week, he handles more than five cases involving the victim lived or died. Forensic laboratory attached to the seven campuses that have faculty of medicine, forensic specialist: the University of Indonesia (Depok), the University of Sumatera Utara (Medan), Universitas Padjadjaran (Bandung), Universitas Gadjah Mada (Yogyakarta), Universitas Diponegoro (Semarang), Airlangga University (Surabaya), and Universitas Hasanuddin (Makassar). Police itself has a Central Laboratory Forensic (criminal forensics) and Jakarta, branches in seven regions, namely Medan, Surabaya, Semarang, Makassar, Palembang, and Denpasar. Related to the examination of the case of poisoning, typically referred to the Health Laboratory of the Area (Lapkesda) in each province. But, when in need of a DNA test can only be tested in the Laboratory of DNA Medicine, the Police (Dokpol) and the Eijkman Institute both in Jakarta. Based on data from the Directorate general of Health Services Ministry of Health, on the twenty fifteen there are thirty-three hospitals of the Ministry of Health, the local government hospital, hospital of the MILITARY and Police, and private hospital, Chairman of the Association of Forensic Doctors of Indonesia (PDFI), confirms that ideally, the number of forensic doctors should be evenly distributed in each of the centers of public health services, approximately four forensic doctors. “It should be one city or one district had one sample of the laboratory. Sentra service at the HOSPITAL, be in hospital Bhayangkara, ” he said, Friday. Inadequate number of specialist forensic, ultimately, make the most of the doctors don't jump to the location of the crime, but in fact, if forced to due to obstructed geographical conditions, the autopsy is done through the “remote”. That is, with the supervision of the forensic doctor on the phone to the general practitioner in an area difficult to reach as he dissects a corpse. Process supervision is done after the forensic doctor examined the case sent by general practitioner via email. In the medical world Indonesia, what is known is called standard of competence. That is, for each graduate of general practitioners have the ability to the forensic clinic, with a variety of levels. Levels minimal, namely the level of four, able to handle cases of abuse with the victim's life and the examination of the corpse.

But, to do an autopsy, to be done by a doctor with a standard competence level two.

Overview as disclosed Ade can be represented from the story Arfi Syamsun, the forensic doctors working in three hospitals: Hospital of the City of Mataram, Hospital of NTB Province, and Bhayangkara Hospital in Mataram.

He explained that the area which often he reach is Bima

Arfi have to painstakingly squeeze out of his craft to include the whole of the province. If taken from his place of work, through the road trip, he took eighteen hours. Actually passing plane very can, only one hour travel. However, because call of duty is often a sudden, a ticket for a schedule flight nearby often can't be bought. If you wait, most do not require a grace period of twenty-four hours. The condition of the corpse began to rot, which reduce the impact of the forensic facts.

Moreover, no hospital in Bima which has the facilities of the mortuary that is equipped freezer.

In a month, he could cover the distance as far as was but just to deal with two cases. Like all the forensic doctor, he should be back and forth to the area of the incident until the case is fully sorted out in court. “Sometimes I come into the SCENE if it is close. But most often his remains were sent to Mataram from Lombok region, ” he said. Although his condition makes bother, Arfi rather lucky because I don't need to be sent to the neighboring province of East Nusa Tenggara. In the province with the capital of Kupang that there has been no forensic doctors. Therefore, when there are cases of death that require the most forensic hospital in the province should ask the doctor from Denpasar, which at least has five forensic specialists. At the University of Indonesia course no one graduates doctors and forensic medikolegal on twenty. One of the factors: earned income is very small compared to other specialists, can one appeal ten-fold. According to Arfi, the government didn't do equitable distribution of benefits. In Kalimantan, because the profession of forensic doctors is extremely rare, there is the allowance from The Ministry of internal Affairs. To meet the load necessities of life, Arfi become the person in charge at the three hospital. In addition, he also earns additional income by research projects in the Faculty of Medicine, University of Mataram. Similar stories experienced by Jimmy Sembay, who worked a double at the Abepura Hospital and Bhayangkara Hospital in Papua. On the other hand he became a lecturer at the Faculty of Medicine of Cenderawasih University, Jayapura.

Djaja Surya Atmadja admitted that the award for the profession of forensic specialists is much lower than the recognition abroad.

He judged, even the salary of a specialist in obstetrics is much higher than the forensics. “I doctoral schools in Japan take the field of DNA forensics.

There a doctor specialist in obstetrics with a specialist forensic partner his salary, is valued the same.

In Indonesia, the average income of a doctor forensic the, five times doctor umumlah.

But if other special - times that of the general practitioner. So a lot of the forensic doctors in Indonesia, especially in the regions, eventually becoming a general doctor as well, ” he explained. In Yogyakarta, the story Ida Bagus Gede Surya Son of Pidada just the same. As a forensic dentist with ten colleagues in the General Hospital Dr. Sardjito, they should handle the autopsy, up to one hundred more during the year. On the twenty-fourteen them handle bodies and bodies in twenty. Daeng Mohammad Faqih, the Elected Chairman of the Indonesian Doctors association, assert that in Indonesia the forensic doctor was not so considered by the state.

He cited the country of united kingdom and the United States with the forensic doctors are often referred to as coronary.

There they work is far more important than the police, the frontline in investigating criminal cases. “Before the coroner went in to see the scene, the investigator should baseball go.

Because if the investigator entry, the evidence is scattered it can not be seen, ” said Daeng Faqih.

“If in Indonesia designed the forensic doctors appear because of the interest.

Factors, one of which, the role of the forensic doctors who have not yet positioned directly in dealing with crime.
