MEDAN - Mayor of Medan, North Sumatra, Bobby Nasution wants his citizens to have fair access to health services, so that when seeking treatment they only use ID cards in 2024.

"In 2023, I want to see what progress is made of UHC (universal health coverage)? Can it be that in 2023, all people in Medan City seek treatment, receive health services using only their ID cards?," Bobby Nasution said in Medan as reported by Antara, Wednesday, March 23.

This was conveyed by him after opening the development planning meeting (Musrenbang) for the regional government work plan (RKPD) for the City of Medan in 2023 attended by the Governor of North Sumatra represented by the Assistant for Economic Development of the North Sumatra Provincial Secretariat Arief Tri Nugroho and elements of the Forkopimda in Medan.

Bobby Nasution wants this to be a Musrenbang discussion, so that the 2023 progress can be realized in a maximum of two years from now.

To Bappeda, the Health Service, and the Social Service, Bobby asked to immediately realize UHC for every citizen to get health services using an ID card in 2024.

"All residents receive health services or seek treatment by showing their ID cards," said Bobby Nasution.

In addition, the mayor of Medan also emphasized that education services and population administration (adminduk) should be further improved, specifically the adminduk must reach the micro level, namely the kelurahan.

"I remind all OPDs to collaborate to maximize the implementation of priority programs, namely health, infrastructure, flooding, cleanliness, revamping heritage areas, and empowering MSMEs," said Bobby Nasution.

Meanwhile, the Head of the Medan City Bappeda, Benny Iskandar, reported that the Medan City RKPD Musrenbang in 2023 aims to formulate priority urban development programs contained in the Medan City RKPD.

"Before arriving at the RKPD Musrenbang, several stages have been passed. Namely, the public consultation for the RKPD draft, the kelurahan musrenbang, the sub-district musrenbang, and the main ideas of the DPRD," he said.
