JAKARTA - Operational Coordinator of the Emergency Hospital (RSD) Wisma Atlet Kemayoran, Colonel Ckm dr. Stefanus Dony straightened out the information stating that a patient who was hospitalized had escaped. According to him, the patient did not run away but was impatient to follow the referral procedure after requesting to be discharged.

Doni explained that Suyanto entered the Wisma Atlet Hospital on July 21 and was placed on the 32nd floor room 19.

"As treatment progressed, Suyanto asked permission to carry out independent isolation," said Dony in a written statement, Sunday, July 26.

Furthermore, Suyanto actually confirmed the nurse and had to process the administration first.

Because, according to the applicable procedure, a patient who requests independent isolation even though his condition still has to be treated in a hospital must meet the criteria, including the approval of the treating doctor or the doctor in charge of the patient; approval from the clinical psychology team of Wisma Atlit Hospital to conduct education; and the surveillance team for the sake of conducting a joint investigation with the Health Office (Dinkes) according to the patient's domicile to obtain a letter from the RT / RW regarding the willingness of local residents to accept patients back.

"However, because of the patient's ignorance, they couldn't wait for the administrative process so they left the hospital," explained Doni.

As soon as he realized Suyanto was leaving the hospital without permission, the officer then checked it. "It turned out that Suyanto was at his house, namely the Mitra Oasis apartment, Senen, Central Jakarta, and was submitting a request to the Chairman of RW 02 to carry out isolation at Gading Pluit Hospital," he said.

"Due to his ignorance of the referral procedure, Suyanto chose to go out of the hospital on July 25, 2020," he added.
