First Lady Kristiani Yudhoyono told all regional administrations to learn from Tangerang municipality, which is now prioritizing the development of health infrastructure to improve the quality of its human resources.
“We all know that the basic development of society rests on health," Ani said in her inauguration speech of 120 newly built integrated health posts in Kelapa Dua subdistrict, Tangerang municipality on Tuesday.
Also present at the ceremony were a number of Cabinet ministers' wives, Banten deputy governor HM. Masduki, Tangerang Mayor Wahidin Halim, deputy mayor Arief R Wismansyah and the municipal councilors.
“Tangerang municipality has been able to build more than 100 health posts all at once out of its own budget. This a big achievement. The administration's health policy should be a model of national commitment to health. I am so proud of this,” Ani said.
Wahidin said the administration spent Rp 20 billion from the 2009 budget to build 120 health posts simultaneously.
“We have a total of 1,100 health posts spreading out in every community unit in 13 districts across the municipality. Most of them are in a poor condition. Therefore, in line with the 2009-2014 developmental vision and mission we aim to build 1,000 more health posts,” he said.
The administration also provided Rp 6 million in incentives to each center from the annual budget to support their operations.
