He said 24-hour health services were provided at the puskesmas following the increase in cases of COVID-19 transmission due to the spread of the Omicron variant of the corona virus in the city of Surabaya since early February 2022.

The Deputy Mayor inspected the Banyu Urip Health Center to check the readiness of the puskesmas to provide 24-hour health services.
"In this puskesmas there are also inpatient services. In addition to treating COVID-19 patients, currently we are also intensively carrying out vaccinations at the puskesmas and in RW centers," he said.

The chairman of Commission D for Welfare at the Surabaya DPRD, Khusnul Khotimah, previously suggested that the city government reactivate the telephone line to contact the puskesmas when there is an emergency.
"So that every time there is an emergency, the puskesmas can be ready 24 hours to provide services to the community," he said.
