Civil Servants Relocating to New Capital Receive Housing and Advanced Hospital Facilities
Civil Service Apparatus (ASN) officials relocating to Nusantara, the new capital city, will receive various facilities including housing and hospital services. Rini Widyantini, Minister of State Apparatus Empowerment and Bureaucratic Reform (PANRB), inspected the readiness of these facilities.
“IKN is conceived to be efficient, futuristic, and close to nature. We are ensuring that ASN members will feel ready and safe, comfortable so they can better serve the nation,” stated Rini, following her inspection tour in IKN, Penajam Paser Utara, East Kalimantan.
She inspected the apartment complex for ASN, the Central General Hospital (RSUP) IKN, the Coordinating Ministry Office, and Istanda Garuda.
The ASN apartment complex is located in the western and eastern residential areas, comprising 47 towers with 12 storeys each. The complex is equipped with smart home technology, complete furnishings, commercial tenants, and religious, social, and sports facilities. Each unit features a smart home system (fingerprint/PIN access), kitchen, water heater, air conditioning and furniture.
The RSUP IKN spans 10 storeys with 250 beds and includes cardiac and stroke services. The hospital utilises a smart hospital concept supported by advanced technology including 512-slice CT scan, Hybrid Cathlab and 3 Tesla MRI.
The Coordinating Ministry office building is designed as a shared office space featuring green building principles, with construction scheduled for 2024-2025. It includes a multifunction hall, second-level walkway, integrated parking, and architecture integrated with nature (forest city concept).
Rini emphasised that IKN’s success depends on collaboration and digital governance implementation. Digitalisation will be the backbone of future governance with talent capable of understanding digital advancement.
She characterised the IKN initiative as transformational, finding new approaches to bureaucracy and improving government administration. “IKN is not merely relocating the capital, but discovering new ways to conduct bureaucracy and improve our government administration,” Rini concluded.
