President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo Friday (07/12) visited Batin Mangunang regional general hospital in Lampung province’s Tangamus regency to check healthcare services for the community in the region.
During the inspection, President Jokowi inspected several facilities, including the registration booth, the polyclinics, and the radiology room.
On that occasion, Director of the hospital Theresia Hutabarat said that the hospital has a full accreditation status and provides various health services through ten specialist clinics.
“There are also inpatient installation and medical support installations, including a pharmacy, a laboratory, a radiology room, a blood transfusion unit, a nutrition unit, a medical records unit, and a mortuary, along with an emergency installation and a surgical installation,” Theresia said.
Regarding services for patients of the BPJS Kesehatan Insurance, Theresia added that the hospital continues to provide fast and efficient services including through an online registration system that allows patients to make registration from home to shorten queues when they arrive at the hospital.
Echoing a similar sentiment, one of the patients, Idaliana, who used BPJS services for her fourth pregnancy check-up, said that the healthcare services at the hospital are excellent.
“The procedures are not complicated and it is very helpful for the community,” she added.
Another patient, Lilis, who came to accompany her husband with a toothache and her child with a fever, expressed gratitude to the services at the hospital.
“The service is fast and good and the facilities are also complete,” she said.
The working visit made by the Head of State to the hospital is expected to motivate all parties to continue improving public healthcare services and ensure that they can meet the community’s healthcare needs. (BPMI SETPRES/AIT) (AP/EP)
