Press Statement of President of the Republic of Indonesia at the Inspection of Rupit General Regional Hospital in North Musi Rawas Regency, South Sumatra Province, May 30, 2024

President of the Republic of Indonesia (Joko Widodo) 

I am happy that North Musi Rawas General Regional Hospital has adequate human resources, doctors, and specialists. Everything is available. The problem is that the [state-owned electricity company] PLN does not provide sufficient electricity, so I called PLN’s President Director to immediately solve the issue, including the same electricity issue with the rest of North Musi Rawas Regency. The President Director said he would solve it. The hospital has received equipment from the Ministry of Health; two for surgery and CT scan [equipment] came six months ago. I suppose it is good. I am glad that it has sufficient human resources. Usually, other hospitals face a shortage of medical specialists. That is all.
