JAKARTA - President Prabowo Subianto's government's commitment to accelerating the transformation of health services in all corners of Indonesia continues to be realized through the construction of the KH Hospital. Muhammad Thohir in Krui, West Coast Regency, Lampung Province. This project was implemented by PT PP (Persero) Tbk (PTPP) as part of the Ministry of Health's Fastest Results Program (PHTC).
With a contract value of Rp. 141.06 billion, the construction of this hospital is scheduled to be completed in 290 calendar days, from March 17 to December 31, 2025. As of early August, construction progress has reached 13.93 percent, exceeding the planned target of 12.44 percent.
As a type C hospital, this hospital is designed with superior services for handling five national priority diseases: stroke, heart, cancer, kidney, and maternal and child health. This project is here as a concrete solution for the Krui people, the 3T region (advantaged, frontier, and outermost) which had become public attention due to a viral video of a pregnant woman who had to be stretched for hours in order to get medical services.
Indonesian Health Minister Budi Sadikin said this hospital is not just a building, but a symbol of social justice. Every child of the nation has the right to quality health services, wherever they are.
"Congratulations to PTPP friends, Bangun yang bagus dan cepat," ujar Budi Gunadi memberi semangat.
Also present at the development ceremony, Chairman of the MPR RI Ahmad Muzani expressed his appreciation for the central and regional synergy.
"Hopefully the construction of M. Thohir Hospital will be useful in improving the quality of health and welfare of the people of the West Coast. We want the people in Krui to have fast and decent health expectations and access," said Muzani.
Support also came from the Presidential Chief of Staff, Lt. Gen. TNI (Ret.) AM Putranto, who hopes that this hospital will become a maximum public service asset.
"Hopefully RSUD M. Thohir will provide broad benefits for the people of Krui Regency and its surroundings. I hope regional officials work with a heart, professional, and full of gratitude," he said.
Meanwhile, West Coast Regent Dedi Irawan expressed his pride and gratitude to the central government.
"This is a new milestone for our health services. We feel cared for. Enthusiasm and pursue targets!" he hoped.
