JAKARTA - The people of North Kayong Regency, West Kalimantan, were helped by the presence of a free ambulance fast boat provided by the Regency Government for residents who wanted to seek treatment in Pontianak.

"Alhamdulillah, we thank the North Kayong Regency Government for preparing an ambulance for residents who will seek treatment. Of course this really helps patients who will be referred to a hospital in Pontianak," said Eko, a resident of Sukadana, Friday, September 23, quoted from Antara.

By having two reliable machines of 150 PK, the fast fiber ship makes it only take about two hours from Sukadana to Rasau Jaya Port.

"So yesterday my family when they were brought to Pontianak in an emergency, of course, it was greatly helped, because they could be handled quickly by the hospital there (Pontianak)," he said.

The Regent of North Kayong, Citra Duani, does have an appointment in the field of Health. The 'fit country' community gets benefits in the health sector starting from BPJS Health for free, free ambulances and currently, free ambulance fast boats are running for residents of North Kayong.

"Not to mention the Sultan Muhammad Jamaludin hospital, which is currently very good in its infrastructure, as well as the facilities are very adequate, which is supported by a specialist doctor," he said.

He hopes that the policy will continue in the future because it is very supportive of the community, especially to create a healthy North Kayong resident who is physically healthy.

"One of the assessments to improve the welfare of the community in my opinion must begin to improve the health of its citizens by paying attention to all aspects in the health sector for infrastructure and other supporting programs," he said.
