JAKARTA - Deputy Governor of DKI Jakarta Ahmad Riza Patria said that the case of alleged verbal abuse to pregnant women at the Puskesmas has now been resolved amicably.

"(The case) has been resolved amicably," said Riza at DKI City Hall, Central Jakarta, Friday, October 8.

The DKI Provincial Government has investigated the case. Meanwhile, according to Riza, the problem between patients and health workers that went viral on TikTok social media did not find any violations.

"There is no maladministration or malpractice related to this problem," he said. As is known, a pregnant woman on social media TikTok claimed to have been verbally abused by health workers at a health center in Jakarta.

In the upload to the TikTok account @stecfanywijjaya, it was stated that the pregnant woman who was 9 months pregnant went to the puskesmas because she showed signs of giving birth.

The pregnant woman came alone because she was wandering in Jakarta. When they arrived at the puskesmas, the health worker said that the mother could not use BPJS if there was no husband.

"I just found out that BPJS chooses someone based on their husband. Poor single parent women struggling alone," wrote the account @stecfanywijjaya.

Based on the account information, a number of health workers made statements in disgust because they saw the condition of pregnant women who had vaginal discharge. In fact, there were health workers who asked how many men had been in contact with the pregnant woman's patient.

"The midwife usually attacks my brother (patient) who is sick and crying in pain with the question 'how many guys have you had intercourse with? said @stevfanywijaya.
