JAKARTA - The DKI Jakarta Provincial Government plans to increase the status of Sumber Waras Hospital in West Jakarta into an international standard health facility that focuses on cancer and heart disease treatment.
The Governor of DKI Jakarta, Pramono Anung Wibowo, said the plan was one of his commitments since the candidacy. He also called the step as part of the completion of the agenda that was not completed during the leadership of Basuki Tjahaja Purnama.
"From Pak Ahok, the Sumber Waras Hospital is finished. We will immediately start building an international hospital for cancer and heart," he said in Jakarta, as quoted by ANTARA.
According to Pramono, his party has proposed the construction of Sumber Waras Hospital as an international hospital under the National Strategic Project (PSN) to President Prabowo Subianto.
He added that the plan had also received support from the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Economy. However, the DKI Provincial Government remains committed to continuing construction even though the decision regarding the status of the PSN has not been determined by the central government.
Pramono also ensured that the legal issues that had overshadowed the procurement of the Sumber Waras Hospital land had been completed.
For information, the case of alleged corruption in the purchase of the Sumber Waras Hospital land surfaced in 2015 when Basuki Tjahaja Purnama was Governor of DKI Jakarta. At that time, the report of the results of the examination of the DKI Jakarta Financial Supervisory Board (BPK) on the 2014 financial statements became the beginning of the controversy. However, the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) stated that it did not find any illegal elements in the land purchase process.
