Meanwhile, the head of Pengurus Wilayah Perkumpulan Pemberantas Tuberkulosis (PPTI), Mrs. Surjadi Soedirdja, stated that Indonesia is in the third place for the highest case of TBC after India and China. That is why PPTI is asking support from Jakarta Governor Fauzi Bowo to minimize the case in Jakarta. “The collaboration between HIV/AIDS and TBC is also happened,” stated Soedirdja.
Based on PPTI data, there are 80 new patients following medical treatment and most of them should have medical treatment for six months, nine months, and one year.
Moreover, Jakarta Governor Fauzi Bowo explained that his officer through dept. of health will keep the coordination with PPTI to reduce TBC patients. “I need general model to reduce TBC case in Jakarta,” asked Bowo.
Bowo continued that there is no general model to reduce TBC case which is agreed by several elements that involved reducing the case. “Through the model, the task of stakeholder will be clearer to reduce the case,” explained Bowo.
