Roy Suryo and Doctor Tifa Hospitalized After Diploma Case Examination

Roy Suryo and Tifauzia Tyassuma, also known as Doctor Tifa, have been admitted to the Police Hospital in Kramat Jati for inpatient care. This development follows their health examinations conducted on Friday evening, June 19, 2026. Both individuals are currently suspects in a defamation case related to the authenticity of Indonesian President Joko Widodo's diploma.

According to their lawyer, Refly Harun, the decision for hospitalization was based on medical recommendations, not at the request of the patients themselves. Harun assured that both Doctor Tifa and Roy Suryo are in generally good condition. However, he disclosed that medical examinations revealed pre-existing conditions that necessitate further monitoring and medical management.

Refly Harun explained that the medical team deemed it necessary for Roy Suryo and Doctor Tifa to remain under medical supervision to ensure their health remains stable during the observation period. Initially, Roy Suryo did not plan for hospitalization, but he ultimately accepted the doctor's recommendation after consulting with his family and legal team. The duration of their hospital stay remains uncertain and will depend on their health progress and the medical team's decisions.

While Refly Harun declined to provide specific details about Roy Suryo's diagnosis, he characterized the illness as common, affecting a significant portion of the Indonesian population. He stated, "It's impossible for us to discuss someone's illness. Mas Roy's illness is not specific, it's quite common. About 30 percent of Indonesians suffer from it."
