North Jakarta Intensifies Business Licensing Oversight for Veterinary Clinics
Jakarta (ANTARA) - The North Jakarta Food Security, Marine and Agriculture Sub-agency (Suku Dinas KPKP) is intensifying supervision of business licences, including owners of veterinary clinics providing animal health services across six districts in the area.
The supervision is carried out to ensure all facilities meet regulatory standards, legal requirements and prevailing provisions.
“This supervision is a follow-up to the instruction of the Head of the DKI Jakarta KPKP Agency to improve business actors’ compliance with licensing provisions,” said Adil Abdillah, Head of the Livestock and Animal Health (PKH) Section of the North Jakarta KPKP Sub-agency, in Jakarta on Thursday.
“This activity is a follow-up to the KPKP Agency Head’s instruction to ensure animal health services in North Jakarta comply with procedures and applicable legal provisions,” Adil said.
He explained that the supervision is taking place over one week, from 10 to 17 July 2026, involving the KPKP Implementation Units (Satpel) at the district level.
“So far, we have visited more than 10 locations for thorough inspection,” he said.
The supervision involves checking the suitability of practice premises, the completeness of business licensing documents, and Practice Permits (SIP) for veterinary medical personnel.
The supervision is not only focused on administrative aspects, but also aims to protect animal owners and veterinary medical personnel, as well as guarantee the quality of animal health services.
Adil urged all veterinary clinic owners and independent practitioners to promptly complete their licensing documents if any requirements remain unfulfilled.
“We hope that through this supervision, the standard of animal health services in North Jakarta will continue to improve. We also urge business actors to always keep their administration in order for the safety and comfort of the community,” he said.
Meanwhile, Zakiyatul Sadri (26), a veterinarian practising in Kelapa Gading District, said regular supervision is necessary to prevent practices that do not meet standards and to minimise the potential for negligence in handling animals.
She hopes similar activities can be carried out on an ongoing basis to maintain the professionalism and credibility of animal health services in North Jakarta.
“I will comply with all provisions set by the government. This is not only about administration, but also for the safety and comfort of the patients, namely the animals, and their owners,” she said.
