SURAKARTA (January 29, 2021) - Indonesian Minister of Social Affairs Tri Rismaharini continues to make efforts to improve the accessibility of Persons with Disabilities by monitoring the Disability Center as a Technical Omplementation Unit (UPT) of Ministry of Social Affairs which provides direct services to Beneficiaries (PM).
Today, Social Minister Risma carried out a working visit to see firsthand the facilities and infrastructure at the “Prof. Dr. Soeharso” Disability Center Surakarta was accompanied by the Secretary of the Directorate General of Social Rehabilitation Idit Supriadi Priatna, Director of Social Rehabilitation for Persons with Disabilities Eva Rahmi Kasim and Head of the “Prof. Dr. Soeharso” Disability Center Surakarta Heri Kris.
The Polyclinic and Therapy Room, the Orthose Prothese Workshop Installation, which produces mobility aids and replacement aids for the function of lost or damaged limbs for Persons with Disabilities, was the first building location that became Risma's concern.
"Accessibility facilities for Persons with Disabilities must be made according to standards, so that they are easy to access and use. Evaluation of damaged buildings and buildings must be repaired and their accessibility facilities immediately," the Social Minister continued.
Social Minister Risma also hopes that the Prof. Dr. Soeharso in the future can develop and produce electric wheelchairs so that people with disabilities can be independent and not dependent on other people in their activities.
“Instead of constructing new buildings, temporarily repairing the damaged ones. Make electric wheelchairs to help people with disabilities be more independent. Sizes can be like sizes S, M, L, XL. If it's per person, it's going to be a long time, this is what I want. So it can help a lot of people. People with Disabilities no longer need to be pushed and depend on others," said the Minister of Social Affairs.
Procurement of equipment is expected to use the most up-to-date equipment. Good equipment for the manufacture of PM Mobility Aids, for example electric wheelchairs, standing wheel chairs, and robotic orthoses/prostheses and so on. Likewise equipment for PM therapy and skills training.

"Building rehabilitation, please take advantage of advanced technology, especially for the accessibility needs of Persons with Disabilities, such as automatic doors and other electrical mechanicals," said Risma, who is also experienced in this field of architecture.
"Buildings that can no longer be used and will not be used should be removed. Please replace them with green open areas or create pedestrian paths," he continued.
Social Minister Risma on that occasion also took the time to have a dialogue with the PMs of the "Prof. Dr. Soeharso" Disability Center. The Minister of Social Affairs encouraged the PM to be enthusiastic about practicing and study hard to be independent.
"Cheer up, practice, so you can walk again dear. If you fall, get up again, fall and get up again. You shoud not be afraid so you can walk, you can't be spoiled, you must be diligent so you can run again, don't give up," she said to one of the PMs who had just undergone therapy at the office.

Both of my legs have been operated on so they can function better. follow the handicraft skills of making paintings from egg shells. I submitted the paintings directly to Mrs. Risma," said Alfia confidently
