Bekasi Regional Hospital Distributes Iftar Meals to Patients' Families During Ramadan
The Director of the Bekasi Regional Hospital, Dr. Sri Enny Mainiarti, stated that the hospital consistently distributes iftar meals to patients’ families waiting at the hospital during the holy month of Ramadan as a form of social concern.
“We carry out this iftar distribution every day during the fasting month for families waiting for patients,” said Sri in a statement on Wednesday (February 25th).
She explained that this activity is a joint initiative by all employees of the Regional Hospital who voluntarily contribute a portion of their earnings and is organized in a structured manner by each department and section.
“This is purely from employee donations, organized by department and section, and then managed by the General Affairs Department to ensure order,” she explained.
On average, around 150 iftar packages are prepared each day to be distributed to the families, with the number adjusted based on needs on the ground.
“There are approximately 150 packages each day that we distribute,” added Sri.
She said that the distribution mechanism is carried out centrally in a previously designated location so that patients’ families can collect the iftar packages in an orderly and comfortable manner.
“The location has been determined and informed, so families can simply collect them one by one,” she said.
The Public Relations Officer of the Bekasi Regional Hospital, Naman Sulaeman, added that this iftar distribution activity is an effective means of building communication between the hospital and the community, especially the families of patients who are in a situation of concern and hope.
“This iftar sharing activity is part of our hospital’s humanistic approach in building emotional closeness with patients’ families,” said Naman.
From a public relations perspective, this activity strengthens the institution’s image as a regional government-owned hospital that not only focuses on medical services but also cares about the social and psychological comfort of visitors. (H-2)
