JAKARTA - Susniwati is a midwife in Pulau Parang village, Karimunjawa, Central Java. The lack of health facilities here actually makes him sometimes death-defying when bringing emergency patients, for example.
All of these stories were revealed when Parang Island was visited by the Governor of Central Java, Ganjar Pranowo. When Ganjar checked the pier, Susniwati came and immediately asked Ganjar to provide sea ambulance assistance. Can be used to deliver pregnant women and emergency patients to the Karimunjawa Health Center or hospitals in Jepara.
"We need help, sir, a sea ambulance to take pregnant women or emergency patients. Because so far, we only use ordinary wooden boats like this. If the waves are high, it's dangerous, sir," said Susniwati to Ganjar, Friday, September 10.
Susniwati explained that the absence of a sea ambulance made it difficult for residents to check their health. Especially when there is an emergency, for example pregnant women with bleeding or high risk, it is very dangerous to sail the sea with fishing boats.
“So far, we have used ordinary boats, fishing boats. It can take three hours to go to Karimunjawa, maybe even more. The risk is high, especially when the waves are big. If there is a sea ambulance, it can speed things up, moreover, of course it has rescue equipment in it," he explained in a written statement from the Central Java Information and Communications Agency.
There are often cases when he helps pregnant women with emergency conditions. To anticipate a similar incident, every pregnant woman with a high risk, before nine months has been sent to Jepara.
"So I asked for your help, sir, I was given a sea ambulance to help the community," he said.
Governor Ganjar Pranowo agreed with Susniwati's proposal. According to him, the sea ambulance is important for handling emergency conditions.
Reward promises will soon fulfill. Not only relying on the state budget, his party is ready to seek a sea ambulance from the company's CSR assistance or other sources.
