JAKARTA, Mar 16, 2020 - (ACN Newswire) - State-owned hospitals, under the Indonesian Healthcare Corporation (IHC) Pertamedika, will help the government handle the spread of coronavirus (COVID-19), including through treating and isolating patients at their facilities, State-Owned Enterprises Minister Erick Thohir stated.
"There are in all 65 state-owned hospitals, with special treatment rooms and 155 beds, and 66 safe houses," he noted in a statement received in Jakarta, Monday. He made the statement during a visit to the Pertamina Jaya Hospital in Jakarta on Thursday (Mar 12).
The number of people infected with COVID-19 in Indonesia continues to grow, with government spokesperson for COVID-19 handling, Achmad Yurianto, declaring that 117 had confirmed positive for the virus in Indonesia as of 5 a.m. local time on Monday (Mar 16).
Minister Thohir expressed confidence in the hospitals, under the state-owned facilities' network, and their abilities to offer treatments to those diagnosed with COVID-19.
