Reported by Budhy Tristanto | Translated by
Various attempts to increase public health service keep being done by City Administration. One of them is by constructing 10 type D hospitals in East Jakarta.
The construction is slated to begin next year2 New Hospitals Type D Ready to Be Operated in April
“The construction is slated to begin next year. Currently, we’re still looking for lands for type D hospital construction,” said Head of East Jakarta Health Sub-Department, Iwan Kurniawan, Thursday (7/30).
According to Kurniawan, the construction will not change any status of sub-district community health center (puskesmas). Thus, later on, all each sub-districts would have puskesmas and type D hospital.
He furthered to transform the sub-district puskesmas into type D hospital is more complicated rather than build type D hospital.
“That's why, we decided to build the type D hospital,” he expressed.
To realize it, his side is currently coordinating with sub-district and urban village parties to conduct data collection towards government lands which can be diverted to be built a hospital.
"Insya Allah, in 2016, the hospital will be built if the land is ready. Mr. Governor's target was in 2017, every sub-district have type D hospital,” he uttered.
