SUKABUMI (February 1,
2023) - The Ministry of Social Affairs through the Phalamartha Center Sukabumi
facilitated the treatment of a teenager with the initials "SM" (19
years) from Cisarua Village, Sukaraja District, Sukabumi Regency to receive
medical treatment at the hospital on Monday 01/30/2023.
As previously reported, SM
(19 years) a teenager has experienced physical disabilities since he was 4
years old due to a fall. SM can only lie in bed and needs help from other
people for his daily activities.
Following up on the
directives of the Minister of Social Affairs, Phalamartha Center Team moved
quickly to deploy a team to SM's house to conduct an assessment and provide the
necessary assistance.
"Currently, the
team has brought and accompanied "SM" to Hasan Sadikin Hospital in
Bandung to receive medical treatment," said Cup Santo, Head of Phalamartha
Center.
After the assessment was
carried out, we facilitated the creation/recording of National Identity Cards
(KTP) and the preparation of BPJS. We also provide Adaptive Wheelchairs for
"SM" and Decent Living Fulfillment support, such as groceries,
nutrition, personal hygiene kits, bedding, clothing, and school supplies for
SM's two younger siblings who are studying in high school.
"For family
empowerment, we provide entrepreneurial assistance selling cold drinks and additional
capital for basic food stalls," he added.
