Indonesian health minister clarified false advertisements in Indonesia:
"A doctor from Bandung Indonesia has made false advertisements in virtual world through telecom and network platform, which makes people of all circles uneasy. In the advertisements, celebrities like Korean Ambassador and Indonesian Health Minister were treated by him, and the false promoting is all for seeking excessive profits. What's worse, this behaviour also brings shame on medical advertisements. We called the published telephone number for consultation but it turned out to be a dead number. It's said in the advertisement that a doctor from Bandung claims that he can heal cancer patients. His name is Dr. Maxiu, with an address of No. 62, JL. Sarimadu Street, Bandung. However the truth is, no doctor would make a promise that he could cure cancer by so far. Is Dr. Maxiu in the advertisement a real expert? We can't confirm that,but what we are definitely sure is that Korean Ambassador and Indonesian Health Minister never have consultation with this doctor."
Health Minister Endang Rahayu Sedyaningsih had expressed her strong condemnation on this irresponsible false advertisement and remind the public not to be cheated. It's not allowed and also a lack of medical ethics that to promote advertisement of a doctor or a hospital with the treating of celebrities.
In an open society, news can be transferred via all kinds of media which will make us hard to tell true or false. False advertisements will make people uneasy. For this kinds of news, we need to be more careful to identify the authenticity and do not spread the news without exact sources or reliability.
