The DKI Jakarta Provincial Government has launched a new mobile animal clinic service, bringing veterinary care directly to residents across the city's five administrative districts. This initiative marks a significant step in enhancing animal welfare and public health services within the capital.
Today, perhaps for the first time in Indonesia, there is a mobile animal clinic.
Governor of DKI Jakarta, Pramono Anung, personally inspected the service at Kelurahan Kramat Jati, East Jakarta, on Friday, July 10, 2026. He highlighted that this mobile clinic is likely the first of its kind in Indonesia. The service offers a comprehensive range of veterinary care, including health consultations, vaccinations, and treatments for sick animals.
Including for routine blood, biochemistry, urine, and feces. Including also for ultrasound, can be done at this location.
Beyond basic care, the mobile clinics are equipped for laboratory examinations, such as blood tests, biochemistry, urine, and fecal analysis, as well as ultrasounds. Minor surgeries and sterilization procedures are also available on board. Each clinic unit will be staffed by a veterinarian, a paramedic, and support personnel, ensuring professional and accessible care for pets.
There will be one veterinarian, one paramedic, and many things that can be done in this mobile unit.
Pramono emphasized that this program is a crucial social asset for Jakarta in its ongoing efforts to maintain its rabies-free status. He stated that supporting and maintaining this service is essential. The governor also sees this initiative as contributing to Jakarta's image as a global city and a center of the economy, reinforcing its position as a forward-thinking and animal-friendly capital.
Of course, we must support, maintain, and care for it.
