Viral on Social Media, Mulya Jaya Center Provides Assistance for Pika Sasikirana
SOUTH TANGERANG (July 1, 2022) - MoSA through Mulya Jaya Center
Jakarta is responsive to a viral report on social media regarding the disabled
child Pika Sasikirana (16 years old) who has cerebral palsy. This news went
viral when Pika and her parents Sunanta and Santi Warastuti took part in Car
Free Day (CFD) in Jakarta carrying a banner that read "PLEASE, MY DAUGHTER
NEEDS MEDICAL MARIJUANA".
The news was heard by Mulya Jaya Center and sent Social Work Team to be
followed up immediately. When met at her residence, Pika and her parents
occupied a rented house with the address at Jalan Kepodang 1, Bintaro Sector 2,
South Tangerang. The purpose of the arrival of Mulya Jaya Center team was to
conduct an assessment related to the cerebral palsy that Pika had suffered for
years.
The results of this assessment found the cause of the illness when Pika
was 6 (six) years old at that time experiencing vomiting and weakness in the
body and was immediately taken to see a doctor. The results of an
examination by a doctor showed that Pika was bitten by a Culex mosquito which
can trigger Japanese encephalitis (JE) brain inflammation.
Currently, Pika is still undergoing physiotherapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy, which she does 2 times a week and is supervised by her
parents in the hope that her child can be handled well.
