Patients suffering from Acute Respiratory Infection (ISPA) are undergoing treatment at the Samatiga Community Health Centre (Puskesmas) in West Aceh, Aceh, on Tuesday (1/9/2026).

The Samatiga Community Health Centre is currently working to increase the number of inpatient rooms and healthcare personnel. This move comes as the number of ISPA cases has risen steadily over the past three months, climbing from 60 cases in June to 99 in July, and reaching 125 cases in August 2026, due to the impact of forest and land fires in the area.
