PORTALJABAR, BEKASI REGENCY - Acting Regent of Bekasi Asep Surya Atmaja inaugurated the Cenka Type C Hospital in Sukaraya Village, Karangbahagia District and emphasized that all patients must be served even if they do not have a Healthy Indonesia Card or membership in the Health Social Security Administration (BPJS Kesehatan) (8/1/2026).

This affirmation was conveyed to ensure that health services run without administrative discrimination and are oriented towards public safety.

Acting Regent of Bekasi, Asep Surya Atmaja, stated that health services are a basic right of citizens that must be fulfilled by both government and private health facilities.

"If someone is sick, even if they don't have an Indonesian Health Card or BPJS, they must still be served. Don't let them go untreated due to administrative matters," said Asep.

He assessed that the existence of the Cenka Type C Hospital provides direct benefits to local residents because it is located in a densely populated residential area who previously had to travel long distances to obtain health services.

Asep said that long service distances have the potential to increase the risk for patients who need rapid treatment.

He also emphasized that BPJS Kesehatan patients must still receive services in accordance with regulations without reducing the quality of service.

The Bekasi Regency Government is committed to maintaining the sustainability of health services even as it undertakes regional financial restructuring.

"Services will continue to operate, and we will gradually streamline regional finances, but the public must not be disadvantaged," said Asep.

Asep stated that the restructuring of health sector obligations is targeted to continue until 2027 while still ensuring access to services for the public.

He appreciated BPJS Kesehatan and private hospitals that continue to serve residents amidst the challenges of financing health services.

Bekasi Regency, with a population of around 3.3 million, is considered to require strong collaboration between the local government and private hospitals to ensure equitable service delivery.

Asep reiterated that there should be no rejection of patients, especially those from the underprivileged community.

"If someone is sick, please serve them first. The administration can be discussed later," he said.

The inauguration of the Cenka Type C Hospital is expected to expand access to health services and have a real impact on the safety and welfare of Bekasi Regency residents.
