TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Presidential candidate number 3 Ganjar Prabowo promised to build health facilities in every village in Indonesia during the 5th Presidential Debate. The program he built was entitled Satu Desa(One Village), Satu Faskes (One Health Facilities), Satu Nakes (One Health Personnel).
According to Ganjar, this policy is needed to improve the welfare of village communities. "We want them to get the best," said Ganjar in the final Presidential Candidate Debate in Jakarta on Sunday, February 4, 2024.
He said Candidate Candidate Ganjar Pranowo-Mahfud MD wanted mothers, children, the elderly, people with disabilities and indigenous communities to have the same role in health services. Remembering, he said, people in isolated areas need access to good quality health care.
According to Ganjar, improving the health sector is the most important thing in building the personality of Indonesian society. Apart from improving health services, he also emphasized that preventive measures are the best. Therefore, he will encourage programs such as exercise and healthy eating.
Previously, Ganjar-Mahfud promoted the one village one health center program in their vision and mission. They want people to get number one health services throughout Indonesia. "People must easily get first-class health services," wrote the couple's vision and mission document, which Tempo quoted on Friday, October 27, 2023.
Ganjar-Mahfud stated that he would map the needs for providing or revitalizing community health centers in each village. Apart from that, they also want to guarantee the availability of doctors, health workers and essential medicines, as well as accelerate the digitalization of health services (telemedicine).
In their vision and mission document, the couple also promised to provide a Mobile Consul (KOLING) service if elected in the 2024 presidential election. This service will enable people to get health consultations without having to leave the house. Later, health workers will go around to residents' homes to provide services and collect health status data, as well as referral assistance.
