Jakarta launches mobile animal clinics, first of its kind in Indonesia

Jakarta has introduced five mobile animal clinics, bringing veterinary services directly to residents and offering consultations for pet owners across the capital. Governor DKI Jakarta, Pramono Anung, inaugurated the service, highlighting it as a pioneering initiative by a regional government in Indonesia.

“

With this service, it is hoped that the community can obtain better animal health services for all the animals owned by the community.

These mobile clinics are staffed by professional medical teams, including veterinarians and paramedics. They offer a range of services such as health consultations, examinations, vaccinations, treatments, laboratory tests, and minor surgeries. Governor Anung expressed his hope that this service will significantly enhance the quality of animal healthcare available to the public.

“

We want Jakarta to be a city that is friendly to animals, whatever the animal is.

The initiative is strategically important for Jakarta as it aims to maintain its status as a rabies-free city and contribute to its transformation into a global city. Governor Anung encouraged residents to utilize the services and support Jakarta's vision of becoming a welcoming environment for all animals.

“

Jakarta residents are facilitated in accessing their animal health services with this service. The basic facilities are quite complete, including blood tests, ultrasounds, vaccinations, and sterilization at affordable prices.

Francine Widjojo, a member of the DKI Jakarta Regional People's Representative Council (DPRD), welcomed the launch, noting her efforts since 2025 to bring this service, previously known as Moyanvet (mobile veterinary services), to fruition. She praised the provincial government for realizing the project, which she believes will make animal healthcare more accessible and affordable for Jakarta residents, offering services like blood tests, ultrasounds, vaccinations, and sterilization at reasonable prices.

This is the result of PSI's long struggle in the DKI Jakarta DPRD, which has been proposing Moyanvet or the Jakarta Mobile Animal Clinic since last year.
