registered in the DTKS so that she has the opportunity to get assistance
programs from the Ministry of Social Affairs.

only a housewife in her daily life, lives with her husband and two children.
Her husband works as an online motorcycle taxi, while one child works in a
factory, and the other opens a beverage stall.
The team from the "Prof.
Dr. Soeharso" Center accompanied by Emy and Siti visited Ms. Sunarti's
house to conduct a follow-up assessment as well as a case discussion. The

need for a wheelchair to be used for mobility at home and the hospital
during dialysis.
Mrs. Sunarti's husband,
Agus Prastowo said, "Every time we go to the hospital for dialysis, it's
always crowded and I never get a wheelchair loan from the hospital. Even though
my leg is swollen. That's why we said that we needed a wheelchair", said
Agus.
