Remarks of President of the Republic of Indonesia at the Inauguration of Hermina Nusantara Hospital, in Nusantara Capital, East Kalimantan Province, October 11, 2024

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim,

Assalamu’alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh,

Good morning,

May prosperity be upon all of us,

Shalom,

Om Swastiastu,

Namo Buddhaya,

Greetings of Virtue.

Distinguished Ministers, Commander of the Indonesian National Defense Forces and Chief of the Indonesian National Police, Governor of East Kalimantan, Regent of North Penajam Paser;

Distinguished President Director of PT Medikaloka Hermina Tbk (a private healthcare company) and his staff, Director of Hermina Nusantara Hospital;

Distinguished Ladies and Gentlemen.

When observing Hermina Hospital earlier, I saw that its design and interior are like those of a five-star hotel and quite different from those of the hospitals I had ever seen. I also really appreciate the speedy construction of Hermina Nusantara Hospital, which took only about ten months, and the hospital now is operational and ready to receive patients too, because there are already three patients being treated inside.

This will instill trust and confidence in the civil servants who we will soon transfer to Nusantara Capital, because the apartments here are also ready, the offices will be completed soon in November, so that if they have to move from Jakarta to Nusantara Capital and ask questions about the facilities like, “Sir, if our children get sick, is there a hospital there?”, I can answer now that the hospital is already available, namely Hermina Nusantara Hospital.

The second question frequently asked is “Sir, are there already schools for our children?” Well, such questions have compelled us to accelerate the completion of such facilities so that Nusantara Capital will really have all the public facilities needed.

Once again, I really appreciate what Hermina Nusantara Hospital has built in Nusantara Capital. And by saying bismillahirrahmanirrahim, this afternoon I hereby inaugurate Hermina Nusantara Hospital in Nusantara Capital.

I thank you.

Wassalamu’alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh.
