T
he recent death of Andrianto Purnawan, the head of the Indonesian Medical Association’s (IDI) public participation acceleration team for COVID-19 mitigation, adds to the rising number of medical personnel who have succumbed to the coronavirus.
Andrianto died at the age of 38 last week at Dr. Soetomo Regional General Hospital (RSUD) in Surabaya, East Java, after being treated for about 15 days for COVID-19.
Hailing from Malang, East Java, Andrianto’s last deployment was at RSUD Soeradji Tirtonegoro in Klaten, Central Java.
“Please pray for and forgive Dr. Andrianto Purnawan,” IDI spokesperson Halik Malik said as quoted by antaranews.com on Thursday.
Halik said Andrianto, who was active in the association’s COVID-19 task force, was also directly involved in collecting funds for protective health equipment from various parties and promoting coronavirus prevention efforts through writing and online discussions.
