"Improving the quality of public health is one of the focuses of this city's future development," Rano said.

Rano added that he and the Jakarta Governor, Pramono Anung, want to build Jakarta into a city that is competitive, livable, and has quality human resources.

He expressed his gratitude for the efforts, which were reflected in the Human Development Index (HDI) which continued to increase, reaching a score of 85.88, the highest nationally.

In order to continue improving and encouraging its development, Rano continued, the Jakarta Provincial Government remains committed to developing a prime healthcare ecosystem through the principle of health in all policies.

"All development sectors are driven by one goal, namely protecting and improving the welfare of society," he emphasized.

According to him, currently, Jakarta has a very strong health service foundation supported by 197 hospitals, 44 community health centers, 292 sub-community health centers and 3,311 clinics.

This network is also supported by 4,469 integrated health posts (posyandu), 31,467 health cadres, and 586 White Troop personnel who play an important role in providing humane health services to all residents.

"We also continue to expand and strengthen access to public services through programs such as JakCare, free emergency ambulances, and a referral system network through JakConnected to 17 private hospitals," he added.

Rano also invited all Jakarta residents to make healthy behavior the foundation of their daily lives.

According to Rano, healthy living behavior can start from simple things such as maintaining a balanced diet and nutrition, exercising regularly, avoiding smoking, maintaining environmental cleanliness, and having regular health checks.

"Hopefully the people of Jakarta will also transform into residents who are increasingly intelligent and aware of the importance of health," he hoped.
