Waiting Since 2020 But No Disbursement Rights, Director Of RSUD Dr. M. Haulussy Ambon Asks Health Workers To Stay Patient

Specialist doctors, general practitioners, nurses to regional honorariums at Dr. M. Haulussy Ambon Hospital held a demonstration/DOK BETWEEN

Director of RSUD dr. M. Haulussy Ambon Nazarudin asked doctors and regional health workers to be patient because the payment for BPJS Health services, regional services, and COVID-19 services from 2020 to 2023 has not been realized. "Later there will be answers from me regarding the demands of doctors and health workers because they are still in the process of being discussed with the Maluku Provincial Government," said Nazarudin in Ambon, as reported by Antara, Monday, December 18. He also asked doctors and health workers to continue to provide health services to the community, both inpatients and outpatients. "Today's demonstration will also be reported to the Regional Secretary, especially since our DIPA for next year has been outside and we can disburse it for the next two weeks," he said. So that those who carry out demonstrations ask to be absent as evidence, including the demands for action to be submitted, as well as the basis for the Inspectorate's examination. "We are still looking for a place to sit, that's why we have a meeting today," said Nazarudin. In the action, dr. Winny Leiwakabessy SpPA said this action occurred spontaneously by involving specialist doctors, general practitioners, nurses to regional honorariums to demand their rights. Meanwhile, dr. Isabella Hulisellan SPFK said that this strike will last until there is clarity on the payment of health services in the form of BPJS Kesehatan 2020-2023 amounting to IDR 22.5 billion, Jasa Perda in the form of Medical Check Up (MCU) 2021-2023 IDR 2.1 billion, and Jasa COVID-19 in 2022-2023 IDR 1.3 billion. "All of them will not carry out activities ranging from expert doctors, general practitioners, to nurses," he said. The doctors said that the BPJS Kesehatan services that had been waiting for had been discussed long ago until there was a meeting with Commission IV of the Maluku DPRD on September 1, 2023. It is planned that this health worker service will be included in the budget for the 2023 Maluku APBD changes, but suddenly it was stated that the budget was not accommodated in the 2023 APBDP. Then there is another new instruction for all doctors and health workers to sign the disbursement approval and have been carried out but the fact is that there is no realization of disbursement of the budget and the director does not provide a questionable clarification in the internal WahtsApp group. But Nazarudin said the reason for not giving an answer in this group was because the management temporarily clarified it with the leadership, in this case with the Maluku Regional Secretary to spend this money. "We don't know what the results will be, so we are afraid that we will give the wrong answer again first," said Nazarudin. "We have signed to make it safe but it turns out that it is not the case and every time we spend the money, the one responsible is me and the treasurer and PPK," he said again. That's why all doctors and regional medical and honorary personnel are asked to be patient for the next one or two days and he wants to continue the meeting with the Maluku Regional Secretary. Nazarudin admitted that the budget for BPJS Kesehatan payments in the 2023 APBDP was not accommodated because he was accompanying the Governor of Maluku and the Regional Secretary to Banda Naira so that he was ordered to the Deputy Director of the Haulussy Hospital and in charge of the program. "On Banda Naira Island, it is a WiFi problem, so communication is rather difficult and this issue may be due to delays in entering data, but we have tried and answers to relatives' questions like that, isn't it easy?," he said.

Meanwhile, dr. Elna Anakotta Sp M, who is one of the former Deputy Directors at the Haulussy Hospital, said that she was removed from her position because she did not fulfill Nazaruddin's wish, who had just been tasked with asking for a bigger official car. "Every official trip in question also often asks for blank receipts," he said.
