JAKARTA - Coordinating Minister for Human Development and Culture (Menko PMK) Muhadjir Effendy visited the Bekasi District Hospital, Monday, July 5. There he listened to the field conditions conveyed by the Director of the Bekasi District Hospital, Sunarti.

Reporting from the Coordinating Ministry for Human Development and Culture's website, Tuesday, July 6, Sunarti said, every day there were 60-80 patients with COVID-19 entering the emergency room and COVID-19 handling tents or exceeding the normal capacity of 40 patients.

"In the last two weeks, there has been a spike in cases. The ER stuck couldn't enter the room. Finally we did pre-IGD triage, so we sent medical and non-medical personnel to triage in cars with oximetry and others," he said.

He also explained if the patient after the assessment indicated that the COVID-19 category was moderate and severe, he would be admitted to the ER for further treatment. However, for the mild category, medicine will be given and it is recommended for isoman at home or at the hotel.

As for oxygen needs at the Bekasi District Hospital, Sunarti emphasized that his party would try to ensure that the oxygen needs for patients can be met. Bekasi District Hospital has 10 thousand liters to meet the needs of two days with a capacity of about 200 patients.

"To take oxygen directly from the producers, we cooperate with the assistance of BNPB with their trucks. We understand that in this emergency condition we also have to work together and be more proactive," he concluded.
