Kedungkandang (malangkota.go.id) – Rahma (10), a child who lives in RT 08 RW 09, Kotalama Village, Kedungkandang District, is reported to be suffering from a disease that is disrupting her growth and development. For the past six months, there has been a lump on Rahma's back that has gotten bigger. In fact, Rahma's health condition is currently declining.
So far, Rahma has not received medical treatment due to financial constraints, and does not have a BPJS Kesehatan membership card. Rahma's parents finally took alternative medicine as an effort to cure their child.
Deputy Mayor of Malang Ir. H. Sofyan Edi Jarwoko and Commander of Kodim 0833 Malang City Lieutenant Colonel Inf. Tommy Anderson had the opportunity to visit Rahma accompanied by the Head of the Malang City Health Service, Dr. dr. Asih Tri Rachmi Nuswantari, MM along with his staff from the Kedungkandang Health Center, Monday (17/2/2019).
During this visit, the Deputy Mayor of Malang, who is more familiarly called Bung Edi, immediately ordered the Health Service to immediately take Rahma to Saiful Anwar Regional Hospital. "We are here to provide facilities to Rahma and her family so that they can immediately receive health services for the recovery of our child Rahma," said Bung Edi.
"The government will continue to be present among the people of Malang City, especially the underprivileged, so that they always receive proper health and education services," said Bung Edi again.
The Deputy Mayor of Malang also hopes that Rahma will recover soon and be able to do activities, go to school, and play as usual.
The Deputy Mayor also took the time to visit Choirul Umam (15) whose house is close to Rahma's. Choirul Umam has been paralyzed due to an accident that occurred some time ago.
Bung Edi has also ordered the Malang City Health Service to provide the same health facilities as Rahma to Choirul Umam.
"We do all this so that our children who come from poor families can still get good health services," he said. (Ts/yon)
