Banyumas Residents Flock to Free Health Services Under Speling Program

The Speling program, an initiative by the Central Java Provincial Government, saw an enthusiastic turnout in Banyumas Regency, with hundreds of residents flocking to Klinik NU Medika Cilongok for free specialist medical services. The event, held on Saturday, July 4, offered a range of health examinations, from general check-ups to specialized tests like blood sugar and cholesterol monitoring.

Governor Taj Yasin Maimoen personally visited the clinic, interacting with residents and observing the services provided. The program mobilizes specialist doctors and health workers from Banyumas, including teams from RSUD Prof. Margono Soekarjo, to make specialist care more accessible. One resident, Naimatul, expressed her gratitude, stating the program was a significant help, especially as she needed a lung X-ray for her flu symptoms.

Governor Yasin emphasized Speling's role in bringing specialist healthcare directly to sub-districts, eliminating the need for long-distance travel for residents. He also assessed the clinic's facilities, encouraging continuous improvement in service quality. Since its inception, the Speling program has been conducted 1,320 times across 1,310 villages and sub-districts, benefiting over 109,000 individuals.
