At Cibinong Regional Hospital, Rudy Susmanto expressed his gratitude because all levels of Cibinong Regional Hospital, from the director to the medical staff, have returned to normal activities after the Eid holiday.

"Thank God there is no permit, all come in to serve the community. We also hope that Cibinong Regional Hospital can become a better regional general hospital," he added.

Touching on health services, the Regent of Bogor emphasized that one of the main focuses of his government is to realize 100% Universal Health Coverage (UHC) by 2026.

"To achieve this, we need a budget of around 724 billion rupiah, and we have started coordinating with the DPRD and related agencies to make it happen," he explained.

Regarding other policies, Susmanto Rudy said that currently the data collection and monitoring of the damaged roads in Bogor Regency has stopped.

Our priority is to repair damaged road infrastructure so that the community can feel the benefits in the near future, he added.
