Regional General Hospital (RSUD) dr. Zainal Umar Sidiki in North Gorontalo has now been able to handle cancer patients directly in the region.
The presence of an oncology specialist and the construction of a chemotherapy facility make this hospital more ready to provide comprehensive medical services for cancer sufferers, without having to be referred outside the region.
Director of RSUD dr. Zainal Umar Sidiki, dr. Mohammad Ardiansyah, said that this year the hospital will open a special outpatient polyclinic service for cancer patients. This marks a new milestone in health services in North Gorontalo.
"We can open this service because there are oncology specialists who will be on duty, plus the support for the chemotherapy facilities that will soon be available," said dr. Ardiansyah in Gorontalo, as quoted by ANTARA.
He added that the presence of the specialist doctor was very encouraging news for the public, especially because the doctor was a permanent employee or civil servant at the RSUD, not a contract doctor.
The doctor oncology who will work here is a graduate of the subspecialist education program and will soon return to service in the regions. This is certainly a big step for improving our hospital services," he explained.

His presence is referred to as a valuable asset for the region, especially in the treatment of cancer, which so far has been very limited locally.
Ardiansyah also revealed that the local government had secured the Special Allocation Fund (DAK) for the 2025 fiscal year for the construction of chemotherapy facilities. This planning is ongoing and will be realized soon.
"With the support of experts and adequate infrastructure, we are optimistic that cancer services at dr. Zainal Umar Sidiki will develop and have a big positive impact on the people of North Gorontalo," he concluded.
