JAKARTA - The Health and Population and Family Planning Service (Dinkes-PPKB) of the City of Madiun has alerted health services during the Christmas and New Year (Nataru) holiday period at a number of crowded points.

The Secretary of the Madiun City Health Office-PPKB, Endria Triningsih Kusdiana in Madiun, Tuesday said that his party had prepared five health service posts that were alerted at crowded points.

"We have alerted five health service posts at crowded points, such as PSC, Alun-Alun Kota Madiun, Suncity Mal, Purboyo Terminal, and Train Station," said Endria as quoted by ANTARA.

To support operations at the health service post, the Health Office and PPKB deployed 17 first aid teams (P3K) and activated 25 ambulances with a three-shift system. All hospitals and health centers also remain open 24 hours a day.

"A total of 17 P3K teams and 25 ambulances are on standby with a three-shift system. In addition, all hospitals and health centers remain open 24 hours a day," he said.

He added that in addition to health posts, the Health Office also strengthened health services at strategic points since the beginning of December to ensure that services to the public continue to run optimally.

"We have strengthened health services since the beginning of December to ensure that the public continues to receive optimal services during the Christmas and New Year holidays," he said.

The strengthening of services began with a health examination of drivers and crew of interprovincial intercity (AKAP) and intercity within the province (AKDP) transport at the Purboyo Type A Terminal.

From the 70 drivers who underwent examination, officers found a number of complaints of non-communicable diseases. Meanwhile, the results of alcohol urine tests on 76 drivers showed that they were all negative.

In addition to focusing on the health of transportation crew, the Health Office-PPKB also conducted food safety inspections at food processing centers around the terminal to ensure that the food consumed by the public is safe during the increase in holiday mobility at the end of the year.

He hopes that with this extra health service, community activities during the Christmas and New Year (Nataru) holiday in the Madiun City area can be safer, more comfortable, and guaranteed.
