Jakarta (ANTARA) - Yayasan Tunas Bakti Nusantara (YTBN) believes that\nthe development of basic services in underdeveloped, frontier, and\noutermost (3T) regions requires support and collaboration from various\nparties, as the needs of communities in these areas remain diverse.<\/p>\n
\u201cBecause that (collaboration) is indeed what is most needed. That is\nwhy we are present there,\u201d said YTBN Secretary Assed Lussak during a\nmedia briefing in Jakarta on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
Furthermore, Assed explained that there are three fields of focus for\nYTBN in 3T regions: infrastructure to support community welfare,\nhealthcare, and education.<\/p>\n
In the field of education, he continued, YTBN focuses on primary and\njunior high school levels, including projects such as renovating school\nbuildings.<\/p>\n
In the healthcare sector, YTBN builds facilities known as \u2018Puskesmas\nPembantu Plus\u2019 or \u2018Pustu Plus\u2019, featuring a healthcare service concept\nthat covers the community from infants to the elderly.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo, all services are available. From maternal and child health,\ninfant delivery, to elderly check-ups, everything is included,\u201d he\nsaid.<\/p>\n
He noted that the construction of these healthcare facilities also\nrequires the involvement of various parties, such as local governments,\nto ensure that services can continue running after construction is\ncomplete. For instance, regarding the Pustu Plus facilities, YTBN enters\ninto agreements with local governments to ensure the availability of\nhealthcare personnel.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat is why we ensure the places we choose are those where the\ngovernment is willing to accept them. Because the impact will be felt\nwithin their regions,\u201d said Assed.<\/p>\n
Additionally, he stated that collaboration is also undertaken to meet\nmore specific community needs, including the provision of water sources\nin areas experiencing limited access to clean water.<\/p>\n
In its implementation, YTBN partners with various parties, ranging\nfrom local governments and State-Owned Enterprises (BUMN) to donors.\nSuch support is necessary because the development of basic services in\nremote areas requires not only infrastructure but also service\nsustainability and resource support.<\/p>\n
He added that needs in each region are not always the same, so the\napproach taken must be adjusted to the local community\u2019s conditions.\nTherefore, he noted that the involvement of various parties is\nconsidered essential so that the development undertaken can address\ncommunity needs more comprehensively.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/ytbn-states-development-of-basic-services-in-3t-regions-requires-collaboration-1790694010", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
