Dr. Haq recounted his experience while living in the Netherlands. He said that in the Netherlands, the right to health is very important, even the Dutch government also provides substitutions for cattle breeders with the aim of fulfilling the protein of the Dutch community, so that no babies are diagnosed with stunting. “Meanwhile, in Indonesia, there are currently 6 million stunting babies,” he said.

He also said that currently the world of health has undergone many developments where the law has not yet regulated it. Efforts that must be made by the government are coherence (adjustment) the laws and regulations that regulate the most important human rights, from the highest to the lowest regulations.

“In addition, the government also needs to carry out the constitutionality of contracts, namely making arrangements for various aspects of human rights so that they can provide justice to the community,” said Dr. Haq.

The Utrecht University graduate also emphasized the importance of the government’s role in protecting the most important human rights, namely the human rights to food, health and education. “The government must not violate the procurement of food, health and education. The government must ensure that everyone can enjoy their rights to food, health and education,” he explained.

He also added that the government should not allow companies and corporations to control and monopolize food, health and education. “The government must prevent companies and corporations from privatizing so that people lose their rights to cheap food, health and education,” he concluded.
