JAKARTA - Adjidarmo Rangkasbitung Hospital, Lebak Regency, Banten, still lacks specialist doctors. RSUD hopes that the Ministry of Health can increase the number of doctors.

The Head of Public Relations of the Adjidarmo Rangkasbitung Hospital, Dr. Jauhari Assukri, said that based on the standard of the Indonesian Ministry of Health, the distribution of specialist doctors at the Adjidarmo Rangkasbitung Hospital was relatively sufficient. However, there are several specialist doctors who are still lacking and incommensurate with the number of patients. One of them is a pediatrician.

According to him, pediatricians need to be added one or two more people. Likewise with psychiatric specialists, there is only one person and one more need to add. Likewise, eye specialists, there are two people and there needs to be an addition of one person. Also, he said, one skin specialist and one need to add another doctor. "We hope that the shortage of specialist doctors can be added by the Indonesian Ministry of Health," said Assukri, Thursday, February 2, quoted by Antara.

The sufficient number of specialist doctors at Rangkasbitung Adjidarmo Hospital, including obstetrics specialist (3) and internal medicine specialist (3), anesthesiologist (2), orthopedic specialist (1), THT specialist (2), as well as cardiac specialist (2), surgeon (5), and lung specialist (2). So far, he said, the services of the Adjidarmo Rangkasbitung Hospital continue to be improved to provide the best service to the community. Even the Adjidarmo Rangkasbitung Hospital is now in class B with Plenary accreditation. "We work hard to provide the best service and work professionally to improve the health level of the community," he said. According to him, the presence of specialist doctors is certainly very much needed by the community because they have competence in their field and can be scientifically accounted for. Specialist doctors have also been tested for handling diseases according to their field and pocketing Registrance Certificates (STR) issued by the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia. "We always propose a shortage of specialist doctors so that they can be met," said Jauhari Assukri.
