JAKARTA - Two special operations for victims of the Cianjur earthquake have been prepared by the National Police Medical and Health Center (Pusdokkes) near the earthquake point, Cianjur Regency, West Java. The place of operation was prepared for residents who suffered minor or serious injuries after the Cianjur earthquake.

"Thank God, there are currently two operating rooms that have been prepared. Previously there was only one operating room," said Head of the National Police Health Center Inspector General dr. Asep Hendradiana in a statement received by reporters in Jakarta, Sunday, November 27.

According to Asep, so far a total of 31 victims have been operated on in both operating rooms.

He hopes that the victim's operating room as well as treatment can be utilized optimally so that patients are not referred to hospitals outside the Cianjur area.

"We hope that patients are not referred outside Cianjur for treatment. We bring this hospital closer, to facilitate treatment and make it easier for families to visit," he said.

Asep stated that all medicines and maintenance costs for residents who were victims of the Cianjur earthquake were not charged.

"100 percent is free, no one is charged any fees. This is a form of government and police support for victims of the Cianjur earthquake," he said.

In addition, the National Police Health Center has deployed 247 medical personnel to assist all victims of the Cianjur earthquake, West Java (West Java). Hundreds of medical personnel deployed consisted of a team of specialist doctors, general practitioners, proficient nurses, and other health workers.

According to him, the National Police Health Center received support from the Indonesian Doctors Association (IDI) and various other relevant stakeholders to help victims of the Cianjur earthquake in West Java.

"So with the instructions of the President and the National Police Chief, we have deployed 247 medical personnel. We also get support from many parties including the Indonesian Doctors Association (IDI)," said Asep again.
