Governor of Jakarta, Joko Widodo, launched the Jakarta Healthy Card ( Kartu Jakarta Sehat) for 1.7 million citizens in Jakarta. The launching of Kartu Jakarta Sehat is a good program from goverment to citizens in Jakarta.
Firstly, the card will give benefit for poor citizens to get their right. Many mass media had reported that poor citizens has a little chance to be hospitalized because they do not have enough money to pay the administration. For example, on 19 January 2013, Ruslan, a child without anus from Kampung Melayu, East Jakarta, had been rejected twice in the hospital. This condition is realy ironic. “Poor citizens are not allowed to be sick”, this term symbolize the discrimination in society. By doing the program of Kartu Jakarta Sehat, it will be the next step to help the poor citizens to get their right for getting better life.
Secondly, this card will help to improve the rate of health in Jakarta. Health level of Jakarta today is still considered low or far from expectations especially for people who live in slums environment. People who live in slum environment, most of them are poor citizens, they are susceptible to diseases. When they are affected by a disease, they have no reason to not to go for medical treatment because there is a card that help them to cut down the administration. This condition will eventually rise the rate of health in Jakarta.
Finally, based on what we are discussed above, the launching of Kartu Jakarta Sehat is good to help the poor citizens and to improve the rate of health in Jakarta.
