JAKARTA - The chairman of the DKI Jakarta DPRD does not accept the decision of the Governor of DKI Jakarta Anies Baswedan to change the name of the regional general hospital (RSUD) to a healthy house for Jakarta.

Prasetyo said Anies should have made policies and breakthroughs that had a positive impact on society. It is not a policy that is not urgent, according to Prasetyo, such as changing the name of a street in Jakarta.

"What is immediately apparent is his success in the community. It's not just a name change, yesterday the street name is now a hospital. Stop making nonsense policies," Prasetyo told reporters, Wednesday, August 3.

Prasetyo admitted that he was intrigued by the naming of the healthy house that Anies had predicted to replace the name of the hospital. According to him, for a long time, everyone knew that the hospital was a place to treat disease.

Moreover, the naming of hospitals is clearly stated in Law Number 4 of 2009 concerning Hospitals.

"So indeed the rules in Article 1 are clear the name of the hospital. From the first when we were sick, where did we run, yes to the hospital. Indeed, the name of the hospital was to treat illness. The logic is that. Prasetyo.

The PDIP politician emphasized that Jakarta still has a myriad of problems that need to be addressed immediately apart from the name change. Like the percentage of the poverty rate that continues to creep up. Then the problem of slum villages in the middle of the city which has not been resolved.

"This is Jakarta, you know. Look at Tanah Tinggi, then Johar. They need a touch from the government, they need solutions with good programs, not changing names like that, that's not what the community needs," he said.

DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan changed the name of the regional general hospital (RSUD) to a healthy house for Jakarta. Rumah Sehat for Jakarta is a manifestation of the health services of the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government as many as 31 hospitals.

Anies said that the change of the name of the hospital to a healthy house at a health service facility owned by the regional government was carried out to change the mindset of the community so that they not only visited when they were sick, but also in order to maintain and improve the quality of their health.

This was conveyed by Anies at the launch of the naming of a healthy house for Jakarta at Cengkareng Hospital, West Jakarta.

“So far, our hospital is curative and rehabilitative, so people come because they are sick and want to get well. Come to the hospital to get well, but to get well you have to be sick first. Well, on the other hand, in yesterday's pandemic, we witnessed the importance of maintaining health. Therefore, the role of the Healthy House is added, namely the promotive and preventive aspects," said Anies.

Anies hopes that this name change will succeed in making people think they are going to healthy homes to be healthier.

For example, by conducting medical and mental health check-ups, vaccination and immunization, and various other preventive promotive activities. So that this healthy home is designed to really make us oriented towards healthy living, not just oriented to recovering from illness.

“With this branding, we hope that people will view healthy homes from a different perspective. Moreover, in international language the hospital is defined as a hospital from hospitality, namely hospitality. It is hoped that through this name, conversations at home will also talk about being healthy, not sick, because our subconscious underlines that," said Anies.
