"To achieve this, health development that includes regulations, human resources, funding sources, and facilities and infrastructure must be carried out properly," explained Ida.
In line with this, one of the development programs of the Malang City Government is focused on improving access and quality of health services as well as community involvement which is an important key to achieving better health goals.
Ida emphasized that to improve the health of the community, the basic mandatory service that must be prepared by the government is the existence of a hospital. "This is certainly to make it easier for the community to access health services. The facilities in this hospital are also adequate, including doctors and health workers," explained the smiling woman.
On the same occasion, the Director of Bambang Shita Hospital, dr. Teddy Prawiro, MHKes., M.MRS., C.HKn., C.SMC revealed that Bambang Shita Hospital is a type D private general hospital under the ownership of PT Bambang Shita Husada which continues to grow.
