<![CDATA[The mortality rate for children with a diagnosis of acute kidney injury after consuming syrup preparations in Indonesia is very high. The number of syrup preparations in Indonesia found to be contaminated with Ethylene glycol (EG) or Diethylene glycol (DEG) reached 116 syrup products. There are three issues that will be investigated as a result of the contaminated syrup: (1) the public response to the policies and responsibilities of regulators (the Indonesian Ministry of Health and the Food and Drug Monitoring Agency (BPOM), (2) the public response to pharmacies in delivering safe medicines to patients, and (3) the public response to pharmacists who are responsible for the practice of pharmaceutical services in pharmacies.
