Head of the Communication and Public Service Bureau of the Ministry of Health Widyawati confirmed that the cancer drug Trastuzumab or Herceptin was still guaranteed by BPJS Health.
This is based on the decision of the Minister of Health regarding the national formulary.
"Based on Kepmenkes 856/2017 concerning National Drug Formulary, the drug Trastuzumab is borne by BPJS," Widyawati said in a text message to reporters on Tuesday (08/21/2018) night.
Widyawati said, the instructions for the use of Trastuzumab medicine for BPJS participants were regulated in the Minister of Health Regulation No. 22 of 2018 concerning Technical Guidelines for Restriction on the Use of Trastuzumab Drug for Metastatic Breast Cancer in the National Health Insurance Service.
"PMK 22/2018 is regulating the management of its use / restoration (Trastuzumab)," said Widyawati.
Patients with HER2 breast cancer are positive, Juniarti, already aware of the policy.
Juniarti claimed to have come to the hospital to request the use of the drug Trastuzumab last week. He showed Minister of Health Regulation No. 22 of 2018 which was promulgated on July 23 to convince the hospital that the drug Trastuzumab was guaranteed by BPJS Health.
Based on these rules, Juniarti claimed to be eligible to get Trastuzumab medicine guaranteed by BPJS Kesehatan.
However, Juniarti still did not get the drug.
"There has been no execution at all for the drug (Trastuzumab). Until we checked the last week too, it was not yet possible. I will have this third chemo, yes, there are no signs of getting the drug," Juniarti said.
