JAKARTA - Before becoming the commander of the TNI, General Andika Perkasa regularly visited a number of patients who were being treated at the Gatot Subroto Army Hospital. Now this habit is continued by his successor, Army Chief of Staff General Dudung Abdurachman.

Last Friday, March 5, TNI General Dudung Abdurachman and General Chairperson of Persit Kartika Chandra Kirana (Ketum Persit KCK) Rahma Dudung Abdurachman, visited Andreas Yapanto (21). Andreas has been suffering from a decline in muscle failure for the last eight years.

Andreas is the son of Wibiksono and Ari Murni. Wibiksono is a retired civil servant of the Indonesian Army and serves at the Army Engineer Center (Pusziad). The youngest of two children, he was diagnosed with decreased muscle failure since he was in the first grade of junior high school. Over time, Andreas also began to be accompanied by other diseases such as unable to urinate, allergies and itching. In fact, two months ago, Andreas had been admitted to the ICU due to respiratory failure, and had twice been exposed to COVID-19.

The mother, Ari Murni, who was taking care of her child at the time, was shocked because she did not expect that TNI General Dudung Abdurachman and his wife would visit him.

"I was dreaming, suddenly the Army Chief of Staff was in front of us, which we've only seen on television," said Ibu Ari as quoted from Dispenad.

He said, the arrival of the Army Chief of Staff gave encouragement and moral support to the family. He also hopes that the arrival of the number one person in the Indonesian Army will be a cure for Andreas, who is the youngest of the two brothers.

"Thank you to the Army Chief of Staff and Mother who have cared about and took the time to visit our child," he said while moved.

Meanwhile, the Army Chief of Staff gave encouragement to both Andreas and Ari Murni and prayed for a recovery.

"Cheer up, Andreas, and I wish you a speedy recovery," said the Army Chief of Staff.

He also expressed his gratitude and asked the Gatot Subroto Army Hospital to provide the best health services, so that both patients and their families will feel comfortable while undergoing the process of treating the disease they are suffering from.
