Remarks of President of the Republic of Indonesia During Inspection to Gotong Royong Oxygen House, 24 July 2021, Pulo Gadung Subdistrict, East Jakarta, Special Capital Region of Jakarta

This afternoon I inspected (the construction of) Gotong Royong Oxygen House that has not been finished.

It is due to be completed next week and perhaps will be 100 percent completed in early August to be able to facilitate around 500 patients. There will be 500 beds here.

This is a cooperation between the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry, GoTo, PT Aneka Gas Industri (Samator), PT Master Steel that owns the land, and other companies as well.

And I highly appreciate what has been done because indeed, the hospital capacity in several provinces is full so additional capacity can reduce hospitals’ BOR (bed occupancy rate).

Once again, I highly appreciate it and we hope that it is not only built in Jakarta but also in other places, in other provinces.

Once again, I really appreciate it. We hope it can be ready to operate and to be used by the people soon.

I thank you. (DH/EP)
