Statement of President of the Republic of Indonesia After Visiting Sultan Syarif Mohamad Alkadrie General Hospital, Pontianak City, West Kalimantan Province, March 21, 2024
I visited Sultan Syarif Mohamad Alkadrie general hospital in Pontianak to inspect health services provided to patients and communities. I think the hospital provides good queue management system and services even though there was a long queue. I was informed that the hospital serves 600 daily patients. A significant number.
The hospital has 168 beds and I see that the service provided in several polyclinics in this hospital is excellent. I have also ordered Minister of Health to provide additional medical equipment for this hospital.
