Dinkes Facilitates Free Treatment of Brain Wrinkles Patient

The Jakarta Health (Dinkes) Agency is providing free medical treatment services and assistance for Panggah (14), a citizen of Jalan Swadaya 1 Pejaten Timur, Pasar Minggu who suffered brain wrinkling.

So we'll continue to monitor his health condition

According to Widyastuti, Head of Jakarta Dinkes, he has experienced brain wrinkling since the age of 12 years. This disease has side effects on indigestion as there is difficulty accepting food intake.

"He cannot eat orally by mouth. So, we help him by using the Nasogastric Tube or NGT hose," she expressed, Tuesday (11/26).

Besides medical treatment, the agency also educated the family on the technicalities of entering drinks and food, observing swallowing and providing information about the dangers of aspiration.

"We share knowledge to the family how to care as he (Panggah) sleeps lying down, then checks the child, weighs, converts what kind of food is most appropriate for him," she explained.

Aside that, she had motivated the family to refer him to the hospital. Unfortunately, they have not been pleased and prefers taking care of him at home.

To anticipate unwanted things, the agency decided to conduct community medical rehabilitation by the family through officer monitoring, nutritional valuation and wound care.

"I have prepared a scheduled team for coordination between the local RT/RW and the puskesmas team and Dinkes along with the family for scheduling a visit. But if the patient must be referred to the hospital, we will persuade them to return," she uttered.

She asserted that this is not merely a case of nutritional problems, but because of disease factors that affect dietary patterns and nutritional intake patterns that are not the same as its age. Thus, liquid food is needed which is certainly not easy.

"As representatives of the government, we are ready to provide free treatment and assistance to him. So we'll continue to monitor his health condition," she closed.
