West Java Governor Ridwan Kamil (ANTARA)

West Java (Jabar) Governor M Ridwan Kamil said that until now West Java Province, he still needed 20 new hospitals. "For hospitals, we are still less than 20 to 25 hospitals," said Governor Ridwan Kamil after attending the "Jasa Sarana Collaboration Forum with Accountability and Transparency" quoted by ANTARA, Thursday, March 16. He said the need for a new hospital in West Java is still relatively high, so his party will hold a "red carpet" for investors who will build hospitals in the province. Governor said the number of hospitals in West Java has not been fully distributed, even though health services in the regions are also urgently needed. BUMD PT Jasa Sarana, he said, has already collaborated with the Permata Hospital and Wallet Dhuafa to build new hospitals. "So don't all be concentrated in Bandung City alone," said Ridwan Kamil. Cooperation with the construction of the hospital will later use a number of schemes, among others, the BUMD PT Jasa Sarana will provide land as a work asset and then physical development is carried out by Permata or Dompet Dhuafa. "And it could also be that Jasa Sarana has its own capital, so there is a Bank BJB as a partner, it can also be presented, capital participation from the West Java Provincial Government to strengthen the cash flow from Jasa Sarana is more accelerated," said Ridwan Kamil. Meanwhile, Commissioner of PT Daya Dynamics Media Ismail Agus Said Said said that the Dompet Dhuafa social health business group will cooperate with PT Jasa Sarana's BUMD to build the first waqf eye hospital in West Java. So far, he said, Dompet Dhuafa has built seven hospitals in West Java, East Java, to Lampung. He hopes that the construction of hospitals located in Cisaranten, Bandung City, will also be accelerated. "So this is the first waqf hospital, we start from one first," he said. Main Director of PT Jasa Sarana Indra Sumantri said his party is targeting five locations for the construction of hospitals with a BUMD-owned, private and district/city governments.

"For waqf hospitals and eyes are located in Jasa Sarana's location with an area of 4,000 square meters," said Indrawan. His party has collaborated with Australian Docta To form a joint venture company, namely PT Sanusa Medika Hospitals. The memorandum of understanding that was just carried out by PT Jasa Sarana was related to hospitals with Permata Group Hospital and PT Daya Dynamics Medika owned by Dompet Dhuafa.
