JAKARTA Muhammad Fajri and Cipto Raharjo, two referral obesity patients from the Tangerang Hospital died in less than a month. The Cipto Mangun Kusumo Hospital (RSCM) or the National Central General Hospital (RSUPN) Dr Cipto Mangunkusumo has not been able to handle both of them.
On June 8, 2023, Muhammad Fajri (27) was taken to the RSCM by members of the Tangerang City Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD). Fajri was taken from his house to the Tangerang City Hospital. However, because the hospital was constrained by limited equipment, Fajri was referred to the RSCM using a modified insbak car.
"It took 2 hours, because we were looking for tools to dismantle the door and forklift. We opened the door so that it could pass and lift it using a forklift to get into the car and be evacuated directly to the Tangerang City Hospital," he explained.
The RSCM multi-disciplinary team of doctors has treated Fajri for approximately 14 days. After optimal intensive care, Fajri's life could not be saved.
Fajri passed away on Thursday, June 22 in the morning. Precisely at around 01.25 WIB.
"Died due to multiple infections," quoted in an official statement from the RSCM received by VOI, Thursday, June 22.

Not even one month after the death of Fajri, Cipto experienced the same thing. The resident of Pinang, Tangerang City, is undergoing treatment at the RSCM for the referral of the Tangerang City Hospital which has limited tools in dealing with Cipto.
"We refer to the RSCM, because there has more complete equipment. The treatment is even more effective," said Head of Medical and Nursing Services at the Tangerang City Hospital, Doctor Amir Ali to reporters, Tuesday, July 11.
"We already know, patients with severe obesity must handle more effectively where they need specialists related to obesity. Now the RSCM is complete," he continued.
