Large Private Hospital Network

Jakarta, 16 October 2023 – Hermina Hospital is also present at the kickoff

meeting with USAID Tuberculosis Private Sector (TBPS) support for Big

Chain Hospitals. The event was held on Monday, October 16, 2023 at Ayana

Midplaza Hotel, Central Jakarta.

Tuberculosis (TBC) is one of the highest number of health problems, both

globally and in Indonesia. In 2022, the Ministry of Health and a network of

major private hospitals in Indonesia, one of which is Hermina Hospital, has

been working together on the national tuberculosis response program.

“We appreciate all the management of the center and its networking hospitals,

which are 100% private hospitals under a large network of engaged in the TB

program by reporting suspected to SITB. Hopefully, this commitment can be

a good practice for other private hospitals to engage in the TB program.”

Imran Pambudi, MPHM., as Director of Contagious Disease Prevention and

Control.

By the end of 2023, this large private hospital network involvement will focus

on 6 activities:

1) Identify suspected tuberculosis through systematic

Tuberculosis (TBC) screening to all visiting patients;

2) Expand access to

quality diagnosis enforcement to all suspected tuberculosis information

systems (SITB), and SATUSEHAT to ensure the record and reporting of

Tuberculosis (TBC)TB patients from all hospital service units;

3) Increase the

capacity of health workers through Tuberculosis (TBC) coaching and e-

learning activities.

This intensive Tuberculosis (TBC) screening activity is expected Hermina

Hospital can help the discovery of Tuberculosis (TBC) cases as early aspossible so that treatment can be done more quickly until patients are healthy

and can contribute to lowering the number of Tuberculosis (TBC) cases in

Indonesia
