JAKARTA - The Banten Regional Office (Kanwil) of the Banten Directorate General of Taxes (DJP) of the Ministry of Finance held a free cataract operation to commemorate 78th Oeang Day.

The Head of the Banten DJP Regional Office, Cucu Supriatna, said that the implementation of this free cataract operation was the result of the collaboration between the Banten DGT Regional Office and the entire Banten Tax Service Office, Perdami, Teguh United Association, ERHA, Primaya Hospital, and JHL Foundation.

Cucu menambahkan, total pasien yang mendaftar pada operasi katrak ini mencapai 359 orang.

Of these, 205 patients deserve surgery after undergoing Health screening first.

Screening is carried out in two places, namely at the Banten DGT Regional Office for the community including Serang City, Serang Regency, Cilegon City, Pandeglang Regency, and Lebak Regency.

From screening, it can be seen whether the patient's health condition supports surgery.

"If the results are good then continue for surgery. However, if the results are not good, the patient will be discharged. Patients with good results can continue for surgery," he said.

In addition, the location of the two screenings was carried out at the East Tangerang KPP Pratama for the community including Tangerang Regency, Tangerang City, and South Tangerang City.

"Disamination is still a serious problem in Indonesia. Most of the visual problems are caused by cataracts. We believe that our existence in the midst of society can be more useful by making our best contribution through this social service activity. We are also grateful to all parties who want to work together so that the social service of this free cataract operation runs smoothly," concluded Cucu.
