KALBAR - West Kalimantan Governor Sutarmidji hopes that local residents will no longer need to go abroad for treatment because health services in their own area are getting better every day.
"Currently, open heart surgery can be done, but it will start next year. The West Kalimantan Provincial Government is building good infrastructure first," said Sutarmijdi as quoted by Antara, Thursday, March 31.
According to him, all regions in West Kalimantan must also be able to improve health facilities and infrastructure. Then just improve the service. "Don't let people enter the hospital grimacing, come home crying," he said.
Meanwhile, the Head of the West Kalimantan Provincial Health Office, Hary Agung Tjahyadi, revealed that there was still a big task related to accelerating the COVID-19 vaccination.
"Therefore, we invite the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia to provide an assessment of problems related to COVID-19 vaccination and other problems in the health sector that have arisen in regencies/cities in order to find solutions," explained dr. Harry Agung Tjahyadi.
Related to this, his party held a coordination meeting to discuss Health Service Facilities (Fasyankes), both at puskesmas and hospitals.
"The assessment of the accreditation of health facilities has been suspended 2 years since the COVID-19 pandemic. As the Governor of West Kalimantan said, the quality of service is very important in gaining public trust to be able to access services, including hospitals," said Hary.
Doctor Hary Agung also appealed to the public in all regencies/cities in West Kalimantan to support efforts to increase HDI scores by understanding HDI variables.
Thus, district/city governments and provincial governments can analyze which variables are weak to intervene. Then, the Directorate of Health Personnel of the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia has analyzed the solution regarding health workers with the status of temporary workers, which in 2023 can no longer be employed.
"Hopefully by holding this activity, the problems that exist in districts / cities in West Kalimantan can get a solution," he said.
