Jakarta - The government has made various efforts to address the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the number of positive COVID-19 cases in Indonesia continues to increase daily. This reality profoundly impacts the humanitarian side of the entire Indonesian population. The government cannot work alone. Active participation from all layers of society is needed to swiftly overcome the COVID-19 pandemic in Indonesia.

On May 6, 2020, PT Mecosin Indonesia visited the office of the Indonesian Medical Association (PB IDI) to convey empathy and sympathy for the pandemic situation in Indonesia. The presence of the Mecosin team at the office located in Central Jakarta was to deliver assistance in the form of LASERIN herbal cough medicine to the Indonesian General Practitioners Association (PDUI).

PT Mecosin Indonesia has provided assistance in the form of LASERIN herbal cough medicine to general practitioners on the frontline. Without undermining the role of other medical professions and healthcare workers, general practitioners are more intensively engaged in direct interactions with patients suspected of or confirmed with COVID-19 at hospitals, community health centers (Puskesmas), clinics, or in their private practices.

"Considering that one of the symptoms of COVID-19 is a dry cough, it is hoped that LASERIN herbal cough medicine can contribute to the relief of patients' cough symptoms managed by general practitioners in their practices," stated Dr. Mariza Andika A., Product Manager at PT Mecosin Indonesia, in a written statement on Monday (11/5/2020).

This aligns with the benefits of LASERIN herbal cough medicine, intended to address dry cough, slightly phlegmy cough, and cough accompanied by a scratchy throat.

In the initial steps to combat COVID-19, a total of 7,200 bottles of LASERIN herbal cough medicine were directly handed over to the PDUI (Indonesian Association of General Practitioners) board by Yurita Tjahaja, President Director of PT Mecosin Indonesia. This concrete action demonstrates PT Mecosin Indonesia's full support to general practitioners in the fight against COVID-19.

"We hope that our contribution can benefit many Indonesians facing this pandemic. Our hope is that in the future, PT Mecosin Indonesia can continue to collaborate with PDUI to fulfill the need for cough medicine, as well as other medications produced by PT Mecosin Indonesia. We must remain optimistic and hope that the pandemic will end soon so that our homeland can smile again," expressed Budi Hermawan, Director of PT Mecosin Indonesia, on the same occasion.
