The Third Series and Closing, Summarecon Free Cataract Operation is Present in Bandung

JAKARTA - Continuing the company's ongoing commitment to improving the quality of public health, PT Summarecon Agung Tbk (Summarecon) has again held a Free Cataract Operation Social Service program as part of the 50th Anniversary of Summarecon. After being successfully held in Tangerang and Bogor, this social program is now entering its third implementation by visiting Bandung City, as well as the last series of implementation of social service activities.

The implementation of this program is the result of collaboration between Summarecon Bandung and the Tzu Chi Indonesia Buddhist Foundation, the Ministry of Social Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia, the West Java Provincial Government, the Bandung City Health Office, and the Murni Teguh Naripan Bandung Hospital. The operation took place on May 30, 2026 at the Murni Teguh Naripan Bandung Hospital, with the support of ophthalmologists and experienced medical personnel.

In addition to surgical procedures, this program also includes post-operative assistance in the form of medication and follow-up observation on H+1 to ensure the recovery process runs optimally and ensure all patients receive comprehensive health care until their vision is fully recovered.

Executive Director of PT Summarecon Agung Tbk, Hindarko Hasan, said that this activity is a tangible form of the company's commitment to bringing sustainable benefits to the community.

"This activity is a tangible manifestation of Summarecon's commitment to sharing benefits with the wider community. We believe that healthy vision is the key to living life optimally. Through this program, we hope that patients can see clearly again and gain a better quality of life. We also express our appreciation and gratitude to all parties who have supported the implementation of this activity, including the Tzu Chi Indonesia Foundation and volunteers, Murni Teguh Naripan Bandung Hospital, the Bandung City Government, medical personnel, and all partners who have collaborated to provide wider access to health for the community," he explained. , in a written statement, Tuesday, June 2.

The public's enthusiasm for this program can be seen from the 244 applicants who come from Bandung City and Regency, as well as a number of other areas such as Bekasi, Subang, Garut, Tasikmalaya, to Majalengka. Based on the health screening results held on May 23, 2026 at Balerea, Plaza Summarecon Bandung, as many as 104 patients were declared eligible to undergo the procedure, consisting of 102 cataract patients and 2 pterigium patients, namely the condition of the growth of the conjunctiva tissue that spreads to the cornea of the eye.

Cataract surgery program is chosen as one of the main focus of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) in the 50th anniversary of Summarecon because it has a wide impact on the quality of life of the community. In addition to helping restore individual health, this program also contributes to improving the social and economic welfare of the beneficiaries.

The Free Cataract Operation Social Service Program is based on concern for the high number of visual impairment due to cataracts that are still experienced by the community, especially those who have economic constraints and access to health services. Loss of vision not only affects the individual's health condition, but also has an impact on productivity and the socio-economic conditions of the family. Through this program, Summarecon hopes to help reduce the risk of blindness which can actually be prevented through cataract surgery.

Gratitude was also expressed by Yayah, a participant in a free cataract surgery who can now see clearly again. The 60-year-old woman who works as a plastic glass picker admitted that she had been resigned to her vision due to limited funds to undergo surgery.

"I am very grateful and helped by this free cataract surgery. Now I can see clearly again and can go back to work to earn a living," he said.

This activity is part of the series of sustainable social programs of Summarecon, which also includes surgery of public facilities, surgery program of 500 houses, scholarship, assistance for educational facilities, to the Summarecon Mengajar program. Through various initiatives, Summarecon continues to strengthen its commitment to not only building an area, but also creating inclusive and sustainable social impact for the wider community.
