The first hospitals in Papua Indonesia specialist in brain and heart (RSOJ) in Eastern Indonesia have been built by Pertamedika IHC, the Holding of an SOE Hospital. By having an SOE hospital and granting simple access to people in Eastern Indonesia, Pertamina Royal Biringkanaya Hospital is a significant stride for Pertamedika IHC.
RSOJ, One of the Hospitals in Papua Indonesia, Official Operating
On March 30, 2022, the RSOJ was established and publicly introduced as RSOJ Pertamina Royal Biringkanaya. Beginning in July 2021, the hospital’s construction took eight months to complete, and all of its amenities and services met type B criteria.
RSOJ has a footprint of 5,705 square meters and a building area of 11,389 square meters, which includes the main building and a supporting structure. It is geographically advantageously located about 8 kilometers from Sultan Hasanuddin International Airport Makassar in the new development area of RSOJ Pertamina Royal Biringkanaya in Makassar City. It makes seeking treatment easier for citizens of the nation and those from abroad.
PT Pertamina (Persero) President Commissioner Basuki Tjahaja Purnama, Pertamina (Persero) President Director Nicke Widyawati, and Pertamedika IHC President Director Fatema Djan Rachmat are among those in attendance at the inauguration. Also present is the 5th President of the Republic of Indonesia, Megawati Soekarnoputri, the Minister of SOE.
Erick Thohir, the Minister of State-Owned Enterprises (SOE), expressed his strong appreciation for the Brain and Heart Hospital (RSOJ establishment)’s in Makassar, South Sulawesi. Erick was appreciative of Pertamedika IHC’s labor of love in completing the first RSOJ structure in Eastern Indonesia under the name Pertamina Royal Biringkanaya Hospital. Pertamedika IHC is an SOE hospital holding.
Indonesian Government Gives Inauguration Speech
Erick stated at the RSOJ’s opening on Wednesday, “Pertamina Royal Biringkanaya Hospital is Pertamina IHC’s important move as an SOE Hospital Holding in building national health resilience by offering simple access to people in Eastern Indonesia.”
According to Nicke Widyawati, President Director of PT Pertamina (Persero), who spoke at the inauguration, the RSOJ Pertamina Royal Biringkanaya construction aims to provide superior neurology. In addition, heart health services are available to patients of all socioeconomic levels with varying degrees of difficulty.
According to the statistics from 2021, strokes—now the leading cause of death in Indonesia—accounted for 21.1% of all deaths. Additionally, 17.0 percent of the population in South Sulawesi, the highest percentage in Indonesia, suffered from a stroke.
This one of the hospitals in Papua Indonesia is ready to serve as a referral hub for brain and heart health services in Eastern Indonesia since it is the only top hospital that offers medical services for the nervous system, blood vessels, and neurology. RSOJ enables residents of Maluku, Ambon, Manado, Papua, and other locations to get quality healthcare without traveling to Jakarta or outside of Indonesia.
Fathema Djan Rachmat, President Director of Pertamedika IHC, expects the RSOJ Pertamina Royal Biringkanaya to serve as a national reference center in Eastern Indonesia.
RSOJ Consider being the Largest Hospitals in Papua Indonesia
80 Inpatient Rooms (VVIP, VIP, Class 3, Class 2, and Class 1), 8 ICU/NICU/PICU Treatments, 7 ICCU Treatments, and 10 Isolation Rooms make up the 105-bed capacity of the RSOJ Pertamina Royal Biringkanaya. Three operating rooms and two catheterization labs are available for cardiology and interventional surgery.
Hospitals in Papua Indonesia also have cutting-edge medical technology, such as MSCT 128 slices, MRI 1.5 tesla, and neurodiagnostic tools. In addition, this hospital offers an emergency department service with ten beds and a variety of rooms, including a triage area, resuscitation area, action area, PONEK room, isolation area, and observation area.
It will be simpler for medical staff to deliver the finest care in the hospital thanks to the completeness of the supporting infrastructure and the internet of things equipped with a command center, CCTV, and patient monitoring dashboard.
According to Fathema, RSOJ has organized an extensive case management program with the help of qualified medical staff. Fathema claims that RSOJ Pertamina Royal Biringkanaya trains 30 sub-specialist and specialist physicians to address referrals and medical demands for brain and heart circumstances.
