AKARTA: Jakarta Health Agency has deployed 464 doctors, 464 nurses and 464 midwives to low-cost rental apartments (rusunawa) and community units (RW) as part of the implementation of the program of providing one nurse, one doctor and one midwife in each RW.
Health agency head Koesmedi Priharto said, after the inauguration of the 230 nurses to be deployed to RW by the Indonesian Nurses Association at City Hall on Friday, that the city would focus on deploying nurses to each RW.
'Each team, consisting of a doctor, a nurse and a midwife, should serve every 1,250 people in one area,' he said.
Kusmedi said that as the city had 2,700 RW, the agency would first focus on low-cost apartments.
'They serve the residents door-to-door as well as writing up the medical records of the residents,' he said, adding that the program was aimed at promoting health and preventive measures.
