JAKARTA
(October 22, 2021) - The Ministry of Social Affairs through Social
Rehabilitation Center Mulya Jaya in Jakarta responded to cases under the
Matraman bridge behind the Ministry of Social Affairs office.

Counselor, Elmiwati reported the results of the search that there is a Social
Welfare Service Recipient (PPKS) named Anggitosari (40). Anggito was found
lying limp, he suffered from tuberculosis for 2 months but the medicine given
by the Puskesmas (Public Health Center) was not taken regularly, cause his
illness won’t go away.
Anggitosari's
daily activities work as a tentmaker. The income received only depends on each
existing order. Anggitosari stayed at the tent rental business owner's house because
his illness was getting worse. He was asked to go back to his family's house by
the tent rental owner, but he didn't have a family so he lived under the
Matraman bridge.
Then
Anggitosari was taken to the Adyaksa Hospital in East Jakarta by the Balai
Mulya Jaya team for treatment. When he arrived at Adyaksa Hospital, Adyaksa
Hospital had administrative difficulties because Anggito did not have an
identity such as an ID card, with the assistance of the Mulya Jaya team,
Anggito was able to be treated at Adyaksa Hospital.

consultation and for Antiretroviral (ARV) treatment waiting for the condition
of the Beneficiary (PM) to improve, currently, PM is still limp and congested.
