JAKARTA - Acting Head of the DKI Jakarta Health Office Ani Ruspitawati admitted that there are still 15 urban villages that do not yet have the puskesmas to date. This condition is also in the spotlight of the DKI DPRD. The average cause of 15 villages that do not yet have this puskesmas is the limited land owned by the DKI Provincial Government to be the location of the construction of the puskesmas. However, Ani said that her party began to budget for the construction of the village level health center in stages in the preparation of the 2024 APBD until 2026. "There are actually several health centers that will be built in 2024. In the strategic plan we have completed them until 2026. The road map fulfills are gradual. Not all of them were built in one year," said Ani when contacted, Monday, July 24. The priority scale of the construction of 15 puskesmas is mapped based on the level of public need for health facilities in each of these regions. Based on regulations from the Ministry of Health (Kemenkes), Ani said that it is actually the obligation to provide puskesmas by the local government to be at the sub-district level. The DKI Provincial Government also has puskesmas in all sub-districts in the capital city. However, the DKI Provincial Government again provides puskesmas services at the village level which have a fairly high population density, although it is not yet available in all urban villages. "So, in one sub-district location if he does not have a sub-district health center, then he will be covered by the sub-district health centers, because all the existing health centers in one sub-district are under the sub-district health center," explained Ani. In the plenary meeting of the agenda the general view of the factions on the Raperda regarding the Impletion Account for the 2022 Budget, the PDIP faction highlighted 15 sub-districts that do not yet have health centers.

The villages are Duri Selatan Village, Jembatan Lima, Karanganyar, Tank, Gambir, Gunung Sahari Selatan, Cikini, Senen, Glodok, Gondangdia, Kebon Kacang, Kemayoran, Cipedak, Karet Semanggi, and Kebayoran Lama Selatan. "In 2022, the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government did not build a single Puskesmas in the capital city. In fact, there are still 15 urban villages that do not yet have a Puskesmas. Of course this prevents the public from getting basic health services," said Member of the PDIP faction of the DKI Jakarta DPRD Stephanie Octavia.
