Pramono Pushes Healthcare and School Upgrades in Cideng Sub-district

The Jakarta administration is set to build a new auxiliary community health center (pustu) at Tulang Bawang Park in Cideng, Gambir Sub-district, Central Jakarta.

We have decided to build it at Tulang Bawang Park

Jakarta Governor Pramono Anung noted that the project is designed to fulfill the healthcare needs of the surrounding community.

He aims for the development to wrap up by 2028, following a limited coordination meeting at the Gambir Sub-district office in Central Jakarta on Tuesday (11/10).

"Regarding the auxiliary community health center, we have decided to build it at Tulang Bawang Park, and hopefully, everything will be completed by 2028," he stated.

Additionally, the meeting also decided to revitalize State Elementary School (SDN) 13 Petojo Utara and SDN 07 Cideng. The revitalization of these school buildings is a priority for the 2027 budget.

"This means it is multi-year, and at the same time, we are rebuilding the schools unlike how they used to be. They will be built like the recent ones, six stories high, equipped with elevators, and so on," he explained.

Pramono explained that the upcoming modernization of SDN 013 Petojo Utara will also feature dedicated educational facilities for students with special needs (SLB). This addition addresses the high demand for special education infrastructure across Gambir Sub-district.

"Our aim is to integrate provisions for a special needs school right from the initial planning and construction phases of the SDN 13 revitalization project," he explained.

Beyond health and education sectors, he has also ordered the expedited normalization and dredging of a 648-meter stretch of the Ciliwung River, running from Jalan Batu to Jalan KKO Usman.

The project is designed to prevent flood risks in the Gambir area, which houses Indonesia's governmental core.

"If left unresolved, issues in this area could impact the Presidential Palace. Consequently, doing immediate improvements here is a top priority," he stated.

The administration will also proceed with the revitalization of Petojo Enclek Market, a project previously stalled by the COVID-19 pandemic. Pramono aims for construction to wrap up and for the market to officially open by August 2027.

"This is part of the 14 markets slated for revitalization. Only two remain, and Petojo Enclek Market is one of them, having now received approval for redevelopment," he added.

Further, he drew attention to illegal parking problems in Cideng Sub-district, urging local officials to coordinate with railway operator PT KAI and propose a multi-story parking structure for motorcycles.

"The administration will propose building a multi-story parking facility since the land belongs to KAI. Implementing this solution will significantly ease traffic congestion in Cideng," he continued.

At the same time, Gambir Sub-district Head Muhammad Iqbal noted that a comprehensive approach to urban planning is essential, as Gambir serves as a key supporting zone for the nation's administrative center.

"Fundamentally, the core challenge in Gambir Sub-district is establishing proper public order—covering both infrastructure development and social welfare within the community," he stated.
