Bahrani delivered that his party is preparing general practitioners, specialist doctors, and nurses. In addition, he is also coordinating with the Organizational and Management Section (Ortal) of the East Kutai Regency Secretariat to provide more health workers.
“We have contacted the Organization and Management Section to arrange human resources as the hospital building will soon be finished, with construction progress already reached 60%. We want to ensure that when the building is finished, the health workers will also be there,” said Bahrani.
Previously serving as Director of the Kudungga Regional Public Hospital, Bahrani said that the Pratama Hospital needs at least nine health workers, consisting of four specialist doctors, an anesthetist, an internal medicine doctor, an obstetrician-gynecologist, a pediatrician, a surgeon.
