Many Hospitals Deny Jakarta Health Card’s Patients
Many Hospitals Deny
Jakarta Health Card’s Patients
Jakarta is the capital city of Indonesia
that has many complicated problems
which will never end. The most pronounced problem is the
citizen’s health.Joko Widodo as Jakarta’s governor instituted the Jakarta
Health Card ( KJS) system in November last year, which aims to provide for poor citizens who are sick, with free medical treatment
at comminity health centers and third class rooms in local hospitals. But
nowadays many hospitals deny KJS’s patients for
many reasons.
The first
reason is all of the rooms in the
hospital had been fully after the
KJS launch.
Many hospitals were
flooded by patients who had
KJS. This situation made
many hospitals deny KJS patients
because there were
no rooms.In February a premature
baby died from a respiratory
problem. One week after she was
born, shewas denied admitance by eight hospitals in
Jakarta.
The second reason is inadequade care and
unavailable fasilities. The patient explosion which happened in several hospitals in
Jakarta wasn’t accompanied by adequate fasilities so, the
staff of hospital could not
handle the number of patients who had certain diseases.Againon Saturday, March 9
2013, this problem resulted a teenager dying
after recieving late treatment in Jakarta. Her family had a KJS, but was denied by four
hospitals.
The last reason is there is no hospital to respond patient for
obtaining treatment or a remaining
room. And this
problem was demonstrated
by an emergency call of 119 staff. If the staff of hospitals were informed of the problem, at lease
they could have
helped to find the a hospital which had room for the patient. So, that he
could obtain the best treatment and decrease the chance of death.
The
above information shows us that KJS service is not yet ready for the KJS system. inadequate care and unavialable facilities is spread throughout the
city. The KJS system can be implanted
well when there is cooperation between Jakarta’s Goverment and his citizens.
