Keerom Regent Successfully Persuaded Medical Workers to Open the Cross in Health Service Office

Just two days into his stint, a number of breakthroughs were made by the Interim (Pjs) Regent of Keerom, Muhammad Ridwan Rumasukun in the fractional region of Jayapura Regency.

One of them, he managed to persuade health workers to open a meeting at the local Health Office, which was conducted since February 3, 2020.

The discussion took almost 1 hour with health workers, Wednesday (9/30/2020) morning, finally they were willing to open an office bar, after the appointment of Franklin Uriyagir as the Head of Keerom Health Office replaced the previous official.

Ridwan also promised health workers to find a solution to all that complained about.

"All complaints will be inventoried first and will be discussed with Plt. The head of the Keerom Health Service first then reported the results to me," explained Ridwan.

By the open communication between the government and health workers, it is hoped that the quality of public services in Keerom Regency can be further improved because the public service must continue as it should be, the public desperately needs it.

"The opening of the health office in Keerom will be followed by the opening of five health centers that were previously closed by health workers".

"And that is the hope that all Public Health Centers must reopen as before, as well as activities in the health department must run and especially health services in Keerom can run properly," he concluded. 

It is known that the Keerom Health Office was closed by a number of local medical personnel since February 3, 2020. They closed the office as a form of protest at the policy of the Head of the Keerom Health Service, Rony Situmorang, which has removed operational assistance from the Public Health Center since 2018.
