JAKARTA - DKI Jakarta Governor Pramono Anung considers the existence of auxiliary health centers not only related to the health services of residents. According to him, environmental health facilities can also be an instrument to reduce the number of slum RW in Jakarta.
Pramono made the statement when inaugurating the new building of the Meruya Selatan II Sub-Health Center, Kembangan District, West Jakarta.
"As we know, yesterday the Central Statistics Agency announced that the slum RW in Jakarta has decreased drastically from 445 to 211," said Pramono, Monday, May 18.
Pramono considers that the decline in the number of slum RW needs to continue to be encouraged through the strengthening of basic services in the residential environment. One of them is through the development and strengthening of the function of a health center.
"Then the sub-health centers will play a role in further reducing the problems in the slums of RW in Jakarta because I want Jakarta to be better and cleaner and hopefully the problems of the slums will also be smaller," said Pramono.
According to Pramono, the construction of health facilities at the sub-district and village levels is part of the DKI Provincial Government's efforts to expand access to public health services. He assessed that the existence of a health center was important because it was the nearest facility that residents accessed first.
"Thus, with the inauguration of the Meruya II Sub-Health Center, hopefully the community's health needs in Jakarta will be better, better served as well as possible," he said.
Pramono also revealed the capacity of health services owned by the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government at present. He said that Jakarta has dozens of hospitals to hundreds of auxiliary health centers which are the spearhead of health services for residents.
"As we all know, Jakarta has 31 hospitals and will build two more hospitals, 44 Puskesmas and 292 Puskesmas Pembantu. That is the end of the DKI Jakarta government to provide the best health services for the community," said Pramono.
