Present At The Inauguration Of The 199th Muhammadiyah Hospital, JK Considers Fair To The Industrial Phenomenon Of A Network Hospital

BANDUNG - Vice President (Vice President) 10th and 12th of the Republic of Indonesia Jusuf Kalla alias JK said it was natural for the phenomenon of the networked hospital industry in Indonesia. Including the Muhammadiyah Hospital which has a number of branches in the country.

While attending the inauguration of Muhammadiyah's 199th network hospital in Bandung Regency, West Java, Thursday, November 3, JK said the phenomenon of a network hospital caused the efficiency of hospital operational costs.

"Just look at it, by buying a lot of medicine and medical equipment, of course it's cheaper than having to buy one by one. It's just a matter of sending it to each of the network hospitals," said JK.

In addition, JK said that the phenomenon of hospitals in networks is also a sign that the existence of health facilities is increasingly needed because of a number of factors.

The general chairman of the Indonesian Red Cross (PMI) explained that the first factor is that there are more and more Indonesians, so they need hospitals to the regions.

Second, continued JK, is that the use of insurance and health systems is getting better. "Thirdly, people began to have higher awareness for medical treatment. Previously, (people) believed in shamans more, now the shaman has dropped his prestige," he said.

With the existence of Muhammadiyah Hospital in Bandung Regency, JK hopes that Muhammadiyah as a religious community organization (ormas) can play a further role in people's lives and improve the quality of health facilities in Indonesia.

"So, Muhammadiyah is the same way. Not just hoping that many sick people can live, of course, we are happy to see people enter in pain, then come out with a smile," said the Chairman of the Indonesian Mosque Council (DMI).

The senior Golkar Party politician mentioned three important things that cannot be separated from the hospital, namely health workers, medical technology, and services.

"Even if the medical personnel is good, the technology is not good, nor is it being looked at. The technology is good but medical personnel is not good, it can't sell well; including services, that's an inseparable part," he said.
