Bogor DPRD Urges Replacement of Damaged Health Equipment at Posyandu

Bogor City's health service infrastructure is facing scrutiny as Commission IV of the City DPRD calls for the immediate replacement of damaged and obsolete medical equipment at local Posyandu facilities. Legislator Rozi Putra expressed concern during a budget accountability meeting with the City Health Office and the Regional General Hospital Director.

Putra pointed out that many health posts still use equipment that is broken, unusable, or no longer meets standard specifications. This situation persists despite regular budget allocations for the health sector. He emphasized that effective healthcare delivery is impossible without adequate facilities and equipment.

“

Health is a basic service that the government must provide. People should not face obstacles when seeking treatment due to a lack of equipment or substandard facilities.

"Health is a basic service that the government must provide. People should not face obstacles when seeking treatment due to a lack of equipment or substandard facilities," Putra stated. He also noted that some essential health support tools are worn out and being used despite their condition.

In response, Commission IV has urged the Health Office to conduct a thorough inventory of medical equipment needs across all community health centers and Posyandu in Bogor City. The commission is committed to overseeing the health budget to ensure it is used effectively and directly benefits residents, asserting that quality healthcare is an absolute right for all citizens.

“

We will continue to oversee that the health budget truly provides real benefits for the people of Bogor City. Quality service is an absolute right of the citizens.
