The contingent doctor for West Sumatra, Dr.dr Afriwardi, confirmed that Khaidir Anas' condition had started to improve. He was even able to communicate with Khaidir. The Dean of the Faculty of Medicine at Andalas University explained that the CT Scan of Khaidir's head said there were no serious injuries.

Currently, Khaidir has been able to trace the chronology of events well in each of its stages. So this condition is certainly very encouraging related to his development.

"We ask for the prayers of the people of West Sumatra so that Khaidir's condition will improve," he said.

Meanwhile, West Sumatra Indonesian National Sports Committee (KONI) chairman Agus Suardi said that he would continue to monitor and monitor Khaidir's condition at all times. The West Sumatra team of doctors will continue to monitor athletes so that they can improve. Coincidentally, Deputy Governor Audy Joinaldy was in Jayapura and joined in providing support.

"The deputy governor ordered this condition to be communicated with the family in Padang so that there would be no worries from the family and at the same time ensure that Khaidir was under our supervision here," he said.
