SEMARANG - Central Java Governor Ganjar Pranowo visits the Cassowary Building patients in Dr. Kariadi Hospital, who were moved to the Garuda building after the fire on Thursday night. There is no panic expressed on the patient's face.

When Ganjar came, they seemed happy. There was even a mother who actually vented about the defeat of the Indonesian national team in the first leg of the 2020 AFF Cup final.

At least 50 patients were transferred because they were affected by smoke during a fire in the MRI installation room in the Kasuari building. When Ganjar visited, several patients seemed excited and greeted him.

"Take a photo, sir," said one of the patients from behind the room.

"Oh yes, come let's take a photo. Be healthy, ma'am," Ganjar said.

Even Ganjar also had a chance to meet a patient from Grobogan, who asked to share a room with another patient from Pemalang who had previously been treated together. Ganjar was happy to hear the patient's request.

"Yes, it is being taken care of, okay. Well, that's what we call a strong bound, that's great. Healthy soon, happy to find friends," said Ganjar encouragingly.

There was an interesting conversation between them. A patient even discussed Indonesian football against Thailand last night.

"Yesterday, we were watching together here, sir, with other patients. We are sad, sir, when it was three zero, I didn't continue to watch and went to sleep,” said one of the patient caretakers.

Not wanting to lose, Ganjar responded.

"There's still one more leg, tomorrow. What do you think the score is?” asked Ganjar.

"Three one for Indonesia victory, but it must be five zero, sir," said a patient breaking laughter in the treatment room.

Ganjar's presence seems to bring joy to the cancer patients. Worries and fears when a fire broke out were practically gone and turned into laughter.

"The patient is fine, no one is affected. God willing, the treatment will go smoothly and not be disturbed. The equipment is not disturbed, Kariadi still continues to provide good services," said Ganjar.
