According to him, based on the diagnosis, most officers experience fatigue, headaches, and some have congenital diseases. The officers, most of them were late for meals until they worked for a long time.

"They work from dawn to dawn, so there needs to be more energy preparation. So we have to pay attention to it in the future," he said.

"For those who are sick, we are still serving Health at all Puskesmas in Bandung City, just come to the nearest Puskesmas," said Anhar.
