JAKARTA - Deputy Head of the DKI Jakarta Health Agency Ani Ruspitawati said that the renaming of the regional general hospital (RSUD) into a healthy home for Jakarta was a momentum for hospital employees to improve health services to patients.

This is one of the expected effects of DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan's decision to rebrand healthy homes in 31 hospitals owned by the regional government.

"Consideration in naming a healthy home for Jakarta is a momentum for all elements in a healthy home for Jakarta in providing patient-oriented health services and developing hospitality in services to provide a good experience for the community," Ani told reporters on Monday, August 8.

In addition, Ani continued, the change in the logo that affixed the name healthy house for Jakarta also aims to serve as a unified identity for DKI Jakarta's health facilities.

Thus, the health service network can be better and able to provide wider access to the community.

"For this reason, healthy homes for Jakarta develop the concept of preventive promotive services as part of a complete and sustainable hospital service," he explained.

For information, the healthy house for Jakarta is a manifestation of the health services of the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government as many as 31 hospitals. Anies also explained why he made the policy.

Anies said that the change of the name of the hospital to a healthy house at a health service facility owned by the regional government was carried out to change the mindset of the community so that they not only visited when they were sick, but also in order to maintain and improve the quality of their health.

This was conveyed by Anies at the launch of the naming of a healthy house for Jakarta at Cengkareng Hospital, West Jakarta, Wednesday, August 3.

“So far, our hospitals are curative and rehabilitative, so people come because they are sick and want to get well. Come to the hospital to get well, but to get well you have to be sick first. Well, on the other hand, in yesterday's pandemic, we witnessed the importance of maintaining health. Therefore, the role of the Healthy House is added, namely the promotive and preventive aspects," said Anies.

Anies' decision has drawn criticism from a number of members of the DKI Jakarta DPRD, particularly the PDIP and PSI factions. However, the Minister of Health, Budi Gunadi Sadikin, did not have a problem with the naming.

Because, based on Anies' previous communication to him, it was stated that the name change to a healthy house was only limited to logos or branding.

"Frankly, he (Anies) had a chance to talk to me. It was like changing the logo so that it could give a message," Budi said when met at the Vice Presidential Palace, Central Jakarta, Thursday, August 4.

Budi explained, there are two types of naming, namely legal names and brand names or branding. Although the logo as a hospital branding uses the name of a healthy house, the deed is still legally called a hospital.

So, said Budi, it does not violate Law No. 4 of 2009 concerning Hospitals.

"It must be distinguished what the legal name is, and the branding name. So, the update that (Anies) conveyed to us legally remains a hospital, but the branding of the logo uses the definition of a healthy home. For us, the important thing is what legal certificate to use," he explained. Budi.
