JAKARTA - Social Minister Tri Rismaharini is working on the trauma recovery of the victims of the bomb explosion in Makassar, South Sulawesi. This was conveyed when he visited the victim at the Bhayangkara Hospital in Makassar, Tuesday, April 20.

"I have also conveyed to the Head of Bhayangkara Hospital that after recovery, the victim must be accompanied for hypnotherapy or trauma healing so can return to normal", said Risma.

Risma said that her party had visited three seriously injured victims who were still being treated by medical personnel at the hospital.

Some of the seriously injured victims who are under treatment are likely to return home soon. Their condition is relatively healthy, she said.

Besides that, Risma hopes to meet officers from the Security Unit of the Sacred Heart of Jesus Cathedral Church, Cosmas Balelembang, who was the victim of a bomb explosion. But Cosmas has come home from treatment.

"After this, she may visit Mr. Cosmas' house, he has already returned, maybe to his house", she said.

The Ministry of Social Affairs also assisted eight seriously injured victims and 11 minor injured victims with the assistance of IDR 67,500,000.

Risma advised that before independence, the condition of the nation was divided. However, these conditions were different during the independence era, and it is no longer the time to talk about differences.

"When we were colonized, we needed to be together, so if we talk about differences, it is no longer the time. Let's be together and imagine that victims can't work, are sick, children may lose their parents", she said.

The difference, according to her, is wealth and potential, because Indonesia has been created by God for diversity, and differences are strengths.

Risma invites people to knit diversity with solidarity and social solidarity. During the visit, Minister of Social Affairs Risma was accompanied by the Director-General of Social Rehabilitation, Harry Hikmat, and the Director-General of Social Security, Pepen Nazarrudin.
