Jakarta \u2013 Indonesia\u2019s Health Minister Budi Gunadi Sadikin announced\nthat the government will establish health posts at mosques this year to\nprovide more efficient healthcare services and reduce road accident\ncasualties.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe want to try setting up health posts in mosques. Rather than at\nhealth centres, people stop more often when praying, right? They stop at\nmosques along the non-toll Pantura route, so we will place health posts\nthere,\u201d he said in Jakarta on Monday.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen I spoke with the Transport Minister, many accident victims are\nmotorcycle riders. They can also rest, eat, or whatever they want. If\nthey want to break their fast, they can do so at these health posts,\u201d he\nadded.<\/p>\n
The Health Minister also responded positively to a media proposal\nregarding measles immunisation at these health posts, given the recent\nintensification of measles vaccination campaigns.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think that could work too. I\u2019m not sure whether we should place\nmeasles immunisation at all points, but if it\u2019s at some specific\nlocations, the idea works. If we\u2019re talking about children, I\u2019m all for\nit,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Previously, the Ministry of Health stated its readiness to provide MR\n(Measles Rubella) vaccination services at mudik transit posts to\nanticipate increased measles transmission during the upcoming Lebaran\nholiday season.<\/p>\n
Andi Saguni, Acting Director-General for Disease Control at the\nHealth Ministry, stated on Friday that the ministry was prepared to\nanticipate holidaymakers with unvaccinated children.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are ready to anticipate this. We have already prepared measles\nvaccination services at transit posts. We have planned to open\nvaccination services at mudik service posts,\u201d Andi said during an online\npress conference updating on measles cases in Indonesia.<\/p>\n
Transport Minister Dudy Purwagandhi stated that based on a national\nsurvey, the estimated movement of people during the 2026 Lebaran\ntransport period is projected at 143.91 million nationally.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/health-minister-announces-health-posts-at-mosques-for-efficient-service-1773064418", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
