  • RS PKU Muhammadiyah Surakarta opened a Priority Floor with fast-track services for patients seeking faster, more private and comfortable care.
  • The floor brings together priority and executive clinics, medical checkups, vaccination services and a psychology clinic in one area.
  • Hospital and Muhammadiyah leaders said the initiative aims to improve patient experience while maintaining safety, quality and Islamic values.

RS PKU Muhammadiyah Surakarta has opened a new Priority Floor designed to make treatment faster, more comfortable and more private. The service opened on Friday, Sept. 4, 2026, to coincide with National Customer Day.

Located on the fourth floor of the main building, the facility brings several services together in one area. They include a Priority Polyclinic, Executive Polyclinic, Medical Check-Up Clinic, Vaccine Center, International Vaccine Clinic with electronic International Certificate of Vaccination, and Psychology Clinic.

Hospital director Dr. Arief Budiman said the fast-track system is the service’s main distinction. Patients should not have to navigate a long sequence of separate procedures, allowing examinations to proceed more quickly and in an integrated way. He said the service mainly targets people who need greater privacy in terms of time and comfort.

This service is intended especially for people who need privacy, both in terms of time and comfort. We have created facilities and services that are different, using a fast-track concept so patients can be served quickly, safely, comfortably and in an integrated way.

· Dr. Arief BudimanThe hospital director explained the purpose of the new Priority Floor.

Arief described the Priority Floor as part of a broader transformation in hospital services. The hospital is focusing not only on medical care but also on the patient’s experience, while continuing to emphasize comfort, privacy, safety, quality standards and Islamic values.

Dr. Agus Taufiqurrohman, chairman of Muhammadiyah’s central leadership, said the facility could become a Muhammadiyah center of excellence in healthcare. He said priority care depends not only on better facilities but also on staff quality and how patients are treated. The hospital plans to evaluate the service continuously, including its facilities, systems and staff skills. It also gave symbolic souvenirs to patients using the Priority Floor.

We hope that, with excellent facilities and human resources, we can provide the best healthcare service for the public.

· Dr. Agus TaufiqurrohmanThe Muhammadiyah leader described the service’s broader healthcare goal.
