Indonesia's health minister urged to improve communication skills after series of gaffes over Covid-19

JAKARTA - Indonesia's House of Representatives members have called on Health Minister Terawan Agus Putranto to rework his communication skills following a series of public gaffes that appear to have persuaded him to lie low despite the country's battle against the Covid-19 pandemic.

Mr Terawan had not been able to inform the public properly about his efforts, therefore causing citizens to question his capabilities, Mr Emanuel said. "The minister must improve his public communication strategy. Many ideas and programs are not well communicated to the public, leaving the latter unaware ," he said.

The most recent criticism he received came in early September, when he appeared to play down Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan's suggestion that the capital city had to return to full large-scale social restrictions amid an"alarming" shortage of hospital beds, with the minister suggesting that hospitals in Jakarta"could still handle Covid-19 patients."
