SEMARANG - The Governor of Central Java, Ganjar Pranowo, directly inspected the handling of the fire that hit Dr. Kariadi Hospital, Semarang. In addition to ensuring the handling of fires, Ganjar also ensures that all patients and health workers are in a safe condition.

Dr. Kariadi Hospital Semarang caught fire on the night of Thursday, December 30. One of the buildings, namely the Kasuari building, caught fire large enough to cause panic.

Ganjar arrived at the location at around 20.45 western Indonesia time. When Ganjar arrived at the location, the fire had been extinguished.

"Patients and health workers are all safe, right? They have been evacuated, ma'am," asked Ganjar to the President Director of Dr. Kariadi Hospital, Faricah Hanum.

"It's safe, sir, all have been evacuated. The fire was also quickly extinguished," said Hanum.

Ganjar also asked about the mentality of the patient in the Kasuari building. To Ganjar, Hanum said that all was safe and the patient was fine. Hanum continued hospital services were also not disturbed.

Ganjar then inspected the burning building. After that, he also took the time to check on the evacuated patients at the Garuda Pavilion, one of the buildings located next to the Kasuari building.

When Ganjar entered the building, he met a number of health workers on duty at the Kasuari building. To them, Ganjar asked the condition and made sure everything was under control.

"There was a fire there, right? Would you like to help save the patient?" asked Ganjar to the nurses.

"Yes sir, when it happened we also panicked, suddenly there was fire and smoke everywhere. But we still tried to be calm and help evacuate patients," said the nurses.

Ganjar gave a thumbs up for the actions of the nurses. He then asked the nurses who had finished picket hours to go home and calm down.

"Go home, rest, okay. You're great," said Ganjar.
