JAKARTA - The President Director of the Bandung Al Islam Hospital, Dr. Muhammad Iqbal, asked the government or the COVID-19 Handling Task Force to ensure the consistency of oxygen gas supply. Al Islam Hospital had run out of oxygen, causing services in the Emergency Room (IGD) specifically for COVID-19 not running normally. However, Iqbal said that oxygen is now available again. "This morning we are evaluating again to ensure the supply can run smoothly again, because it must also ensure that vendors continue to send or not, because the problem is the lack of certainty," said Iqbal in Bandung, West Java, reported by Antara, Monday, July 5. According to him, if the emergency room lacks oxygen, then it will temporarily close the reception of COVID-19 patients because oxygen supply needs to be prioritized for patients who are being treated. "Indeed, all hospitals need a lot, so that's a problem," he said. he.

In addition to the question of oxygen, he also said that recently many health workers at Al Islam have also been exposed to COVID-19. This is an obstacle because the number of patients being treated is quite large. "We are also worried that if all health workers are tired, we will all work overtime," he said. For this reason, he asked the government to encourage the smooth availability of oxygen because patients being treated other than COVID -19 is also not small. "We are actually not grandiose, the important thing is that the supply is smooth, because if we fight we don't have weapons, what do we want," said Iqbal.*
