Jakarta Launches First Mobile Animal Clinic Service in Indonesia

The Jakarta Provincial Government has launched five mobile animal clinic vehicles to provide direct animal health services and consultations for pet owners across the capital. Governor Pramono Anung, who inspected the service at RPTRA Mustika 2 in Kramat Jati, East Jakarta, stated that this mobile animal clinic service is the first of its kind to be initiated by a regional government in Indonesia. Pramono revealed that the vehicles are staffed by professional medical personnel, comprising one veterinarian and one paramedic. Services provided include animal consultations and examinations, vaccinations, animal treatment, laboratory tests, as well as sterilisation and minor surgery. “With this service, it is hoped that the public can obtain better animal health services for all animals owned by the community,” Pramono said in East Jakarta on 10 July 2026, as quoted from his official statement. Pramono disclosed that the mobile animal clinic service will operate across Jakarta’s five administrative city areas. He stated that the service is an important asset for Jakarta to maintain its rabies-free status, while transforming into a global city, an economic hub, and the nation’s capital. Pramono also invited all residents to utilise this service and support Jakarta as an animal-friendly and rabies-free city. “We want Jakarta to be an animal-friendly city, whatever the animal,” he said. Meanwhile, Jakarta DPRD Commission B member Francine Widjojo welcomed the presence of the five mobile animal clinic vehicles, a service she had championed since 2025. The Indonesian Solidarity Party (PSI) politician appreciated the Jakarta Provincial Government for realising the service, previously known as the mobile veterinary service vehicle (Moyanvet). “Jakarta residents are now given easier access to animal health services with this facility. The basic facilities are quite complete, including blood tests, ultrasound, vaccinations, and sterilisation at affordable prices,” said Francine, who attended the launch with Governor Pramono Anung in Kramat Jati, East Jakarta. The Jakarta Mobile Animal Clinic was championed by Francine and the PSI faction in the Jakarta DPRD since 2025. The proposal, submitted through Commission B, was eventually approved by the Jakarta Provincial Government. “This is the result of PSI’s long struggle in the Jakarta DPRD, which has been proposing the Moyanvet or Jakarta Mobile Animal Clinic since last year,” said Francine. She noted that the mobile animal clinic service aligns with Article 14 of the Republic of Indonesia Minister of Agriculture Regulation Number 64 of 2007, which regulates Puskeswan service activities outside the Puskeswan environment. Francine expressed hope that the presence of the Jakarta Mobile Animal Clinic will make animal health services more accessible and affordable for Jakarta residents. “Now there are five mobile animal clinic vehicles operating in Jakarta. Each administrative city in Jakarta has one,” she stated. In addition to proposing the Moyanvet, Francine has also pushed for an increase in the free cat sterilisation quota in Jakarta from 9,000 cats in 2024 to 21,000 cats in 2025 and 23,000 cats in 2026. Francine mentioned that several other programmes related to improving animal welfare in Jakarta are awaiting realisation in 2026. “We are still waiting for the upgrade of the Ragunan Puskeswan into the first Animal Hospital owned by the Jakarta Provincial Government with 24-hour emergency services and the addition of six Puskeswan in Jakarta. Also, free tetanus vaccinations for delman working horses. All of these are scheduled to be implemented in 2026,” she said.
