Coastal Residents Make Use of Free Health Services from the Navy
Published
A number of residents living in coastal areas are now using free health services provided by the Indonesian Navy (TNI AL). The service is aimed at helping people who live far from health facilities.
Health social service activities like this usually give residents the chance to have their health checked without paying any cost. For residents who work as fishermen or fish sellers, this opportunity is very meaningful, because they often find it difficult to leave their work to go to a hospital or community health center (puskesmas).
Access to health services is indeed still a challenge for some coastal communities. Long distances and transportation costs often cause residents to delay check-ups. Therefore, the presence of free health services from the Navy is seen as able to help reduce this burden.
Until now, information about the schedule, location, and number of residents who have been served is not yet fully available. Readers can follow further reports to learn about the latest developments in this program.
