Jakarta East City Government Strengthens Health Services in Eid Crowding Centres

Jakarta (ANTARA) - The Jakarta East City Government (Pemkot Jaktim) is strengthening health services at crowding centres to face the homecoming flow and the celebration of Eid al-Fitr 1447 Hijri/Eid 2026.

“Health personnel readiness must be optimal, especially at locations with high mobility,” said Jakarta East Mayor Munjirin in Jakarta on Wednesday.

He also stated that he has instructed the Health Sub-District Office to ensure the availability of medical personnel and medicines at various strategic points, including crowding centres, mudik routes, and security posts.

This step is taken to provide fast and optimal services.

According to Munjirin, the increase in public activity during homecoming and Eid has the potential to cause various health risks, so the presence of medical officers in the field is very important.

With this readiness, the Jakarta East City Government hopes that the public can celebrate Eid al-Fitr safely, comfortably, and still receive health services.
