"Do not keep condoms in a room lighted with neon lamps because the contraceptives may leak," Sugiri Syarief said when familiarizing family planning in Padang, West Sumatra, Tuesday.
Sugiri said it is no use if condoms had been produced well by the manufacturers if their storage is inadequate.
He also said that condoms must be kept in cool and dry room temperature using electric light bulbs.
In this context, Sugiri was concerned about the inadequate condition of government contraceptive storage facilities in various parts of Indonesia.
In this context he asked the regional administrations to pay attention to the condition of contraceptive storage facilities in their areas.
He also said that BKKBN will provide special allocation funds (DAK) to 437 regencies/cities in Indonesia totaling Rp. 390 billion.
The DAK he added will be used for the procurement of family planning facilities and management in the regencies and cities.(*)
