CIREBON
(5 July 2021) - The Ministry of
Social Affairs through the Bogor Ciungwanara Center and Prof Dr. Soeharso
Surakarta Social Rehabilitation Center followed up on the results of a
comprehensive assessment of patients with Hydrocephalus a.n. AAD was
carried out on June 18, 2021, in the city of Cirebon. The team from “Prof. Dr.
Soeharso” Center, who was commanded by the Head of the Center accompanied by a
Physiotherapist and Ciungwanara Center, represented by Social Workers,
immediately visited the AAD House in Kesambi District, Cirebon City.
The Head of the Ciungwanara Center,
represented by Social Worker Nila Restu, explained that the Ministry of Social
Affairs would provide interventions through the collaboration of 2 Centers,
namely meeting nutritional needs for AAD through ATENSI assistance and
educating parents on how to treat ADD and providing wheelchair assistance as
needed.
"It is important to educate families
about exercises that must be done at home to maintain the current state of
AAD," said the Physiotherapist “Prof. Dr. Soeharso” Wahyu Ambarwati.
Furthermore, the Head of the Center “Prof. Dr.
Soeharso” explained that the wheelchair provided was following the
results of the assessment conducted by Ciungwanara Center so that the function
and size were correct. "This wheelchair can later be used as a means to
sunbathe in the correct position and hopefully can provide benefits," said
the Head of the Social Rehabilitation Center “Prof. Dr. Soeharso” Heri Kris
Sritanto.
Furthermore, officers from Ciungwanara Center
handed over ATENSI assistance to fulfill nutritional needs consisting of
diapers, milk, and biscuits. At the end of the visit, the officer ordered the
assistant for Persons with Disabilities in Cirebon to re-assure that the
process of managing independent BPJS changes to PBI JKN continues so that AAD
can still carry out medical examinations and therapy.
