Health Minister of Indonesia Terawan Agus Putranto has treated many prominent Indonesians, including a former president.

Indonesia’s health minister, Terawan Agus Putranto, has alarmed the country’s medical community by recommending that its hospitals start to use a controversial treatment against stroke that he himself has pioneered. Many physicians and scientists say there’s no evidence that the procedure, called intra-arterial heparin flushing (IAHF), works—and it could do harm. Terawan’s longtime, aggressive advocacy for it makes him unfit to lead health policy for the world’s fourth most populous nation, critics say.
