The National Amil Zakat Agency (Baznas), through Rumah Sehat Baznas\n(RSB) West Java, provided free healthcare services to participants in\nthe Short-Term Islamic Boarding School (Sanlat) for People with\nDisabilities held at the Central Library for Islamic Da\u2019wah (PUSDAI) in\nWest Java. The healthcare services took place over two days, benefiting\n65 individuals, comprising children with disabilities who were Sanlat\nparticipants, their companions, and local residents. The services\noffered included health examinations, medical consultations, and\ntreatments. Additionally, the community received medicines according to\nthe diagnosis results.<\/p>\n
Deputy II of Baznas RI for Distribution and Utilisation, M. Imdadun\nRahmat, stated that the healthcare services during the Sanlat for People\nwith Disabilities represent Baznas\u2019s efforts to improve the welfare of\nmustahik in the health sector, particularly during the month of\nRamadan.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis also serves as our commitment to the vulnerable groups, such as\npeople with disabilities. The zakat, infaq, and alms (ZIS) collected\nfrom muzaki are safeguarded as a trust to be distributed to the eight\neligible asnaf, including people with disabilities,\u201d Imdadun said in a\nwritten statement on Wednesday (18\/3).<\/p>\n
Imdadun assessed that vulnerable groups like people with disabilities\nrequire greater attention to ensure equal access to healthcare\nservices.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe want these people with disabilities to have the same rights as\nother community members, namely access to decent and easily reachable\nhealthcare services. This free healthcare service comes from community\nfunds and must return for the community\u2019s benefit,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
During the event, the RSB West Java team also recorded several common\nhealth complaints among the beneficiaries, including hypertension,\nhyperglycaemia, myalgia, hyperuricaemia, and acute respiratory tract\ninfections (ISPA).<\/p>\n
According to Imdadun, these conditions demonstrate the importance of\naccessible healthcare services for the community, especially for\nvulnerable groups who often face limitations in obtaining medical\nservices.<\/p>\n
Imdadun stated that improving public health is one of the key\nindicators in enhancing social welfare. \u201cThe indicator of improved\nwelfare is improved public health. Therefore, we continue to strive to\nprovide health programmes, including those that reach vulnerable\ngroups,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Imdadun emphasised that Baznas will continue to expand the benefits\nof Rumah Sehat Baznas services in various regions across Indonesia so\nthat more people can experience the benefits. \u201cAs long as the programme\nprovides significant benefits to mustahik, Baznas is open to\ncontinuously expanding the reach of healthcare services through Rumah\nSehat Baznas,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Through this free healthcare programme, Imdadun hopes that people\nwith disabilities and the surrounding community can directly benefit\nfrom the collected zakat funds, while strengthening the role of zakat in\nimproving the quality of life for mustahik.<\/p>\n
