KAMPAR (25 August 2021) - The Ministry of Social Affairs through the Pekanbaru "Rumbai" Center responded to the case following up on information submitted by Achmad, Member of Commission VIII of the House of Representatives. The Minister of Social Affairs, Tri Rismaharini directed to make a quick response to the problems of the family of Fendriyansah (51).

 

Fendriyansah experienced shortness of breath and needed oxygen cylinder assistance. He cannot go to the hospital because he has no money, so far he has never received any assistance from the government. Besides, Fendriyansah has 9 children,

 

The "Rumbai" Center in Pekanbaru together with the Family Hope Program (PKH) Facilitator, Tenayan Raya Sub-district, Pekanbaru City and the (Social Work Service Unit) Sakti Peksos Supervisor in Riau Province visited Fendriyansyah's residence, which apparently has changed its address to Pandau Housing, Siak Hulu District, Kampar Regency.

 

Based on the results of the rapid assessment, it was known that Fendriyansah did experience shortness of breath, but from the results of the latest examination at Zainab Hospital Pekanbaru, Fendriyansah, who is familiarly called Mr. Usman, was declared negative for a lung infection and the doctor advised not to go to another doctor first, consider the condition of PPKM level IV in Pekanbaru.

 

“I have had economic difficulties since the Covid-19 pandemic. Previously I worked as an event organizer in Pekanbaru. I have experienced economic difficulties since I didn't work, I couldn't pay the rent, but I was still given to live here with my 9 children. So I really need help. Because so far I have never received help,” said Fendriyansah.

 

Head of the Pekanbaru "Rumbai" Center, Ahmad Subarkah, said that a case response team was brought in to identify the initial needs of the Fendriyansyah family. In addition to experiencing shortness of breath and economic difficulties, Fendriyansah is not registered as a PKH recipient and has 6 children who need Social Rehabilitation Assistance (ATENSI) services.

 

"Our four children are not going to school due to lack of funds and we need to help with this through the ATENSI program by providing access to the PKH Program and the Smart Indonesia Card (KIP)," added Ahmad Subarkah.

 

On this occasion, the Head of the Pekanbaru "Rumbai" Center handed over 1 oxygen cylinder, a regulator with a humidifier, basic necessities, and 6 packages of child nutrition. In the next effort, the Center will coordinate with the Social Service, Education Office, and Health Office for comprehensive and multi-actor services in dealing with the problems faced by the Fendriyansah family.

In addition, it is necessary to provide access to Fendriyansyah's family so that they can receive the PKH program, Smart Indonesia Card (KIP), and recommend Fendriyansyah's children to "Rumbai" Center while Fendriyansah undergoes further treatment.

"Thank you to the Ministry of Social Affairs for the quick response and fulfill our needs, such as oxygen cylinders, food packages and nutrition, because I have asked for help here and there but there is nothing yet," he concluded.
