Two Hospitals Receive Medical Device Assistance from the Papua Health Service

The Papua Provincial Health Service represented the Deputy Governor of Papua, the Ministry of Health surrendering medical aid to two hospitals in the area, Youwari Regional Hospital and Dian Harapan Hospital (RSDH).

The Head of the Papua Provincial Health Office, Roby Kayame in Jayapura, said Saturday that on behalf of the Deputy Governor of Papua Province he handed over aid in the form of a portable filter and ventilator at Dian Harapan Hospital and Youwari Regional Hospital.

"This tool is expected to be useful to help our sick brothers in this hospital," Roby said.

The tool is expected to help medical personnel deal with public health issues, especially in controlling the COVID-19 pandemic. "This assistance is one of a number of assistance provided by Papua Governor Lukas Enembe and Papua Deputy Governor Klemen Tinal to 45 hospitals in 29 regencies and one city in Papua," he said.

Then, he said, to 16 referral hospitals handling COVID-19 patients in the easternmost province of Indonesia. He explained that the help of portable filter and ventilator hepa, personal protective equipment, medicines and masks was prioritized in 16 CIVID-19 plus hospital referral patients and 45 district / city hospitals in Papua.

Specifically for the Dian Harapan Hospital, according to him, the Deputy Governor of Papua ordered the Papua Health Office to give more attention to being able to be assisted in the handling of COVID-19 patients, both in handling PDP, ODP and OTG.

He expressed his gratitude to the hospitals and clinics because the handling of COVID-19 patients was quite good, so that corona patients could be treated and recovered. "Many do not go through Portable Hepa Filters and ventilators, we are truly united so that this pandemic can pass," he said.

Meanwhile, Director of the Dian Harapan Hospital (RSDH), Dr. Ance Situmorang said, the hospital management of Dian Harapan Hospital thanked for the support of the Deputy Governor of Papua Province, and the Head of the Papua Provincial Health Office.

"This is a form of support from the government for how the handling of COVID-19 in Papua can run extraordinary. We also hope that all patients treated in all hospitals, including the RSDH can recover quickly and this pandemic also quickly passes," said Ance.

According to him, until now RSDH is still treating seven patients, and it is planned that we will open 30 special beds for COVID-19 patients in RSDH. The room that was opened, he said, was of a different nature as there was a cohort and also a single room depending on its placement.

The placement, he added, is for patients in monitoring (PDP) and there is specifically for people in monitoring tailored to the needs of the room.
