REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, JAKARTA - Indonesia will soon build a special hospital for labor in Bekasi, West Java, according to the Minister of State-owned Enterprises Dahlan Iskan. The hospital will cost about 150 billion IDR.
"The President has asked me to build a hospital for labor. So, I asked the Doctor Rahma (Director of Pelni Hospital) to provide me a concept," Dahlan said on Tuesday after visiting Pelni Hospital.
Under the management of Pelni Hospital, this hospital is aimed to help labor in maintaining their health. The concept is expected to be finished in the next two or three weeks. The funds, he said, came from Jamsostek Persero.
"This hospital is built in Bekasi because it is the center of laborers. The next hospital will be built in Tangerang," Dahlan said.
Build in five hectare area, the laborer hospital will have 200 rooms. Then, on the remaining area, the Ministry of Public Housing will build housing for laborers.
