INFOKU, BLORA -Blora Health Office Distributed 750 Oxygen Cylinders to Health Facilities A total of 750 oxygen cylinders and their regulators were distributed by the Blora Health Service (Dinkes) to health facilities in the local area, Wednesday (19/1/2022).
The distribution was carried out by signing the official report and symbolic handover by the Regent H. Arief Rohman in the yard of the Health Office.
The handover was carried out by the Regent by giving a gas cylinder regulator to the Director of the Blora Hospital, the Head of Rumkitban, representatives of the Permata Hospital, and the Head of the Ngawen Health Center.
The regent said that the oxygen gas cylinder for health and its regulators was an aid from one of the diaspora, the best son of Blora who now holds an important position at the center.
"Thank you for the help. He did not want to be named, so let's just pray that he will always be given health and success. His enthusiasm for Sesarengan mBangun Blora is extraordinary," said the Regent.
According to the Regent, hundreds of oxygen cylinders arrived a few days ago and were transported by two container trucks to Blora.
"Hopefully this can support the improvement of health services in all health facilities in Blora Regency. We ask Pak Kadis to distribute it to all hospitals, public and private, and health centers," added the Regent.
Although currently the Covid-19 case in Blora has subsided, the presence of oxygen cylinders is still needed for the treatment of other diseases. "We hope that there will be no third wave (omicron)," said the Regent of Blora.
Meanwhile, the Head of the Blora Regency Health Office, Edi Widayat, explained that the 750 oxygen gas cylinders and their regulators were donated to the Blora Regency Government.
Furthermore, it will be distributed to 2 hospitals (Blora and Cepu), Permata Hospital, PKU Muhammadiyah Blora Hospital, PKU Muhammadiyah Cepu Hospital, Rumkitban (DKT) and 26 Puskesmas throughout Blora Regency.
50 tubes each for hospitals, 30 tubes for private hospitals. Then per Puskesmas 20 tubes, and the remaining 10 tubes for backup at the Health Service.
"I think the market price is more than 2 million per tube, plus the regulator is at least almost 3 million. It will be recorded as a regional asset sourced from grants," he explained.
The head of the Todanan Health Center, Rismiyati, who was present at the event said he was happy and thanked the Regent and Dispora who had cared about health services.
“We are on duty in Todanan, far from the hospital so there is an inpatient service. Thank God I got 20 oxygen cylinders. This will be very useful for us when patients need it,” he said briefly. ( Endah/KOM )
