"So, we meet fellow medical workers who work 24 hours at hospitals. I greet all of them, express my gratitude and appreciation, as well as tell them to maintain stamina, solidity, support each other, and we will fully back up all activities at the hospital," he explained after the monitoring, as quoted by Jakarta PPID's press release.

"I also advise whoever comes, serve and treat them like our own brothers. Give your best service, so patients can return home, reunite with his family," he added.

He explained that the thing currently dealing with is the sheer volume of patients. That was why, it needed optimal support, starting from resources and manpower for medical and non-medical purposes are indispensable. Such as, power to facilitate the transfer of tools, oxygen cylinders, etc. By doing so, medical workers would focus more on the process of treating and healing patients.

"So, we're about to support other agencies to be placed in the hospital, thus the need for support personnel for non-medical activities can be prepared. For instance, preparing food, packing medicine, moving oxygen cylinders in a very fast time and the volume is much more than usual which has never happened before," he explained.

"We also mobilize the workers to help those who are currently working in hospitals, thus they may focus on treating patients and supporting activities that others can help," he furthered.

Thus far, the Jakarta administration had mobilized the need for oxygen cylinders to hospitals. Oxygen cylinders are a supporting facility for the care of patients, especially those suffering from moderate to severe symptoms of coronavirus. By so, he mobilized his staff to distribute oxygen cylinders using existing resources.

"Our team is in Tangerang at the oxygen factory to bring extra oxygen cylinders. One of the main problems is transportation. Thereby, cars belong to the Parks Agency, Bina Marga Agency, Transportation Agency and so forth are mobilized to transport oxygen cylinders to the distributor in a bid to speed up its mobility," he closed.
