She explained so far the Jakarta administration has been in the process of making it happen. Not only focusing on curative, but Jakarta had also realized the importance of promotive and curative aspects as part of the health system.

In the practice, the Dinkes also involved various parties, from other regional apparatus organizations (OPD) to the private sector of health services. In the preventive sector, for instance, the Water Resources (SDA) Agency seeks to build hygienic environmental sanitation.

Then the Environment and Transportation agencies developed several programs and activities to create a blue sky that promotes healthier air. There was also the Bina Marga Agency which carried out pedestrian development to encourage people to have a healthy walking habit.

"The pandemic also taught us to collaborate with 153 private hospitals, the central government, and BUMDs together to open access for residents affected by Covid-19 to overcome bed limitations in regional public hospitals (RSUD)," she added.

Besides collaborating with various hospitals, he also said there were more than 2,000 clinics that needed collaboration. Through collaboration, it would expand services thus Jakarta did not need to specifically build primary services.

"It is impossible for the Dinkes to do it alone, including preventively. We must collaborate with various sectors to provide health insurance that is accessible to all levels of society," she closed.
