Pos Kesehatan Mudik dan Lebaran

Mudik menjadi salah satu budaya unik yang ada di
Indonesia. Hal ini, bahkan menjadi agenda tahunan dan
budaya yang makin mengakar bagi masyarakat. Menjelang
hari raya Idulfitri, masyarakat berbondong meninggalkan kota dan
pulang ke kampung halaman. Bagi masyarakat Indonesia, mudik
memiliki makna kebersamaan dan kerinduan pada keluarga.

Mudik (going home) 249

and Eid Health Post

HMudik is one of Indo-
nesia’s unique cultures.
This has even turned into
an annual agenda item and a commu-
nity-wide culture. People flocked to
leave the city and return to their
hometowns as Eid al-Fitr approached.
Going home is a symbol of to-
getherness and longing for family for
the Indonesians.

When thousands of people travel
at the same time, Santo Borromeus
Hospital wants to provide health
services that brothers and sisters can
use to fulfill their longing for Eid al-
Fitr togetherness with family.

One of the important programs at
the Santo Borromeus Hospital is the
momentum of returning home and
Lebaran. A team was sent to the health
post for mudik Lebaran three years in
a row, from 2010 to 2012, to provide
services to Muslims traveling back
and forth. The primary responsibility
of this position is to provide first aid
and to refer patients to a health
facility if they require additional
treatment. The chosen location is a
strategic rest area that is fairly
crowded with travelers. As a result,
the team will be able to provide more
medical assistance.

Ketika ribuan orang serentak
melakukan perjalanan, Rumah Sakit Santo
Borromeus pun ingin menyediakan
pelayanan kesehatan yang dapat
dimanfaatkan oleh saudara-saudari yang
sedang menempuh perjalanan jauh demi
memenuhi kerinduan dan mengalami
kebersamaan dengan keluarga pada hari
raya Idulfitri.

Momentum mudik dan Lebaran
menjadi salah satu program penting bagi
Rumah Sakit Santo Borromeus. Selama
tiga tahun berturut-turut dari 2010 hingga
2012 satu tim dikirim ke posko kesehatan
mudik Lebaran guna memberi pelayanan
bagi umat Muslim yang melakukan
perjalanan mudik. Tujuan utama posko ini
adalah untuk melakukan pertolongan
pertama dan merujuk pasien jika
memerlukan penanganan lebih lanjut di
fasilitas kesehatan. Lokasi yang dipilih
adalah tempat peristirahatan yang strategis
dan relatif padat dikunjungi para pemudik.
Dengan demikian, tim bisa lebih banyak
memberikan pelayanan kesehatan.

Rest area tol Cipularang KM 57 dari
Jakarta ke arah timur menjadi pilihan.
Segala persiapan dilakukan, seperti
kebutuhan obat-obatan, perlengkapan
medis, dan ambulans darurat dengan
fasilitas standar.

Tim yang diutus terdiri dari seorang
dokter, tiga perawat, dan seorang
pengemudi ambulans. Mereka memulai
tugas satu hari menjelang Idulfitri hingga
3 hari setelah hari raya. Pelayanan

The rest area of the Cipularang toll road KM 57 from Jakarta to the
east became an option. All preparations were made, such as the need
for medicines, medical equipment, and an emergency ambulance with
standard facilities.

The team that was dispatched included a doctor, three nurses, and
an ambulance driver. They began their work one day before Eid and
finished three days after Eid. Health care services were available
beginning at 7:00 a.m. Because this health service post was used by a
large number of home-comers, the team kept it open until evening.

kesehatan buka mulai pukul 07.00. Banyak pemudik yang memanfaatkan
posko pelayanan kesehatan ini sehingga tim tetap membuka pelayanan
hingga malam hari. Posko pelayanan kesehatan mudik Lebaran ini
melayani siapa saja yang hadir, baik yang datang dalam kelompok mudik
keluarga maupun para pemudik yang diorganisasikan dalam jumlah
besar dalam rombongan bus.

Rata-rata pengunjung yang dilayani dan berkonsultasi di pos
kesehatan Rumah Sakit Santo Borromeus mencapai 250 orang setiap
hari. Pemudik yang beroleh pemeriksaan kemudian diberi obat secara
cuma-cuma untuk 3 – 4 hari ke depan. Hal ini dilakukan untuk
sedapatnya membantu para pemudik sehingga tak perlu lagi mencari
obat di apotik dan dapat melanjutkan perjalanan.

Selain layanan pemeriksaan kesehatan, posko pelayanan kesehatan
mudik Lebaran Rumah Sakit Santo Borromeus juga membuka layanan
konsultasi kesehatan, pemeriksaan tekanan darah, dan gula darah tanpa
dipungut biaya. Di antara para pemudik yang memanfaatkan layanan
konsultasi kesehatan ini, keluhan rata-rata adalah tekanan darah tinggi
dan diabetes. Mereka bukan hanya dari kalangan lanjut usia, tetapi juga
dari kalangan dewasa antara usia 30 hingga 40 tahun.

This mudik Lebaran health service post served anyone who was present, 253
both those who came in family homecoming groups and those who
came in large bus groups.

Every day, an average of 250 people were served and consulted at
the Santo Borromeus Hospital’s health post. Home-comers who were
examined were then given free medicine for the next three to four days.
This was done to assist home-comers as much as possible so that they
would not have to look for drugs in pharmacies and could continue
their journey.

In addition to health screenings, the Santo Borromeus Hospital’s
post for mudik Lebaran health services also provided free health
consultations, blood pressure checks, and blood sugar tests. High blood
pressure and diabetes were the most common complaints among
home-comers who benefited from this health consultation service.
They came from adults as young as 30 to 40 years old, not just the
elderly.

The presence of the Santo Borromeus Hospital in responding to
the needs of the community is unquestionably a sign of God’s saving
hand. When the health care team was allowed to participate in the

Kesaksian kehadiran Rumah Sakit Santo Borromeus menjawab
kebutuhan masyarakat memang sungguh menjadi perpanjangan tangan
Tuhan yang menyelamatkan. Salah satu pengalaman bermakna yang
hadir dan menjadi kenangan penuh syukur adalah ketika tim pelayanan
kesehatan boleh mengambil peran pada golden time bagi pemudik yang
mengalami serangan jantung. Kejadian itu berlangsung pada tahun 2012
hari ke-2 pasca-Lebaran. Seorang pemudik pria dewasa terkena serangan
jantung dan terjatuh di sekitar lokasi posko. Tim segera menolong
pemudik tersebut. Kondisinya cukup parah dengan jantung yang
dipenuhi dengan cairan dan seyogianya pasien ini dirawat secara intensif
di Intensive Care Unit (ICU).

Singkat cerita, setelah mendapat persetujuan dari keluarga pasien, tim
melakukan tindakan pertolongan pertama dan berupaya membuat
pasien tetap bisa bernapas meski tanpa alat bantu. Beruntung pada saat
itu ambulans yang dibawa dilengkapi dengan fasilitas dan peralatan yang
memadai. Setelah berjuang selama kurang lebih satu jam sebuah
keajaiban terjadi, pasien bisa tertolong hingga mampu berdiri, berjalan
dan sadar penuh.

golden time for home-comer who had a heart attack, it was one of the
meaningful experiences that came and became a grateful memory. The
incident occurred on the second postEid day in 2012. An adult male
traveler suffered a heart attack and collapsed near the post. The travelers
were immediately assisted by the team. With his heart filled with fluid,
his condition was quite serious, and he should be treated intensively in
the Intensive Care Unit (ICU).

Long story short, after receiving permission from the patient’s family,
the team administered first aid and attempted to help the patient breathe
even without the aids. Fortunately, the dispatched ambulance at the time
was equipped with adequate facilities and equipment. After about an
hour of struggle, a miracle occurred: the patient was able to be helped
until he was able to stand, walk, and be fully conscious.

“Tahun 2012 tim pernah membantu pemudik yang mengalami serangan
jantung. Jantungnya dipenuhi cairan yang sebetulnya kasus ICU. Tetapi,
setelah ada persetujuan keluarganya pasien dapat dilakukan tindakan
medis termasuk pemberian obat-obatan. Saya pikir ini adalah sebuah

keajaiban, pasien tertolong dan bisa melanjutkan perjalanan.”

“In 2012, the team assisted a home-comer who had suffered a heart attack.
His heart was filled with fluid, making him an ICU patient. Medical

actions, including drug administration, could be taken after approval from
the patient’s family. “I believe this is a miracle; the patient was saved and

was able to continue his journey.”

disease 2019 (Covid-19) melanda. Seluruh negara harus
bersusah payah menghadapi dan mengatasi dampak wabah
yang luar biasa. Bahkan, negara maju dengan teknologi kesehatan
canggih pun terus mencari solusi. Rumah sakit-rumah sakit mendadak
harus menangani jenis penyakit baru ini. Persiapan-persiapan layanan

pasien maupun bagi tenaga kesehatan. Segala upaya dilakukan untuk
meminimalkan potensi penularan virus. Penyakit baru ini disebabkan
oleh virus dari golongan coronavirus: SARS-CoV-2 (severe acute

The Uninvited Guests Called Covid-19

H uman tragedy rocked the world when the Coronavirus
disease 2019 (Covid-19) hit. All countries have to struggle
to face and overcome the tremendous impact of the
epidemic. In fact, developed countries with advanced health technology
continue to look for solutions. Hospitals suddenly had to deal with this
new type of disease. Service preparations were carried out immediately
in order to provide safe services, both for patients and for health
workers. Every effort was made to minimize the potential for
transmission of the virus. This new disease was caused by a virus from
the coronavirus group: SARS-CoV-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome
coronavirus 2).

The Blue Lantern





Coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) menjadi tragedi kemanusiaan
yang mengguncang dunia karena pola penularannya yang sangat cepat
melalui droplet atau tetesan cairan yang berasal dari batuk dan bersin
penderita serta kontak langsung dalam jangka waktu cukup lama dengan
penderita. Bahkan, penularan dapat terjadi hanya dengan menyentuh
benda atau permukaan yang terkontaminasi oleh virus dan tanpa sadar
lalu menyentuh mulut, hidung, atau mata tanpa terlebih dahulu mencuci
tangan yang telah terkontaminasi. Kehadiran tamu tak diundang
supermikro tersebut telah mengakibatkan jutaan orang meninggal dunia
dan puluhan juta orang terinfeksi sejak virus ini mewabah. Pandemi
Covid-19 ini membawa dampak yang sangat besar bagi dunia dalam
berbagai aspeknya.

Pemerintah Indonesia mengumumkan pasien pertama positif Covid-
19 di Jakarta pada 2 Maret 2020. Beberapa hari kemudian, Pemerintah
Kota Bandung melaporkan pasien pertama positif virus corona di ibu
kota Provinsi Jawa Barat ini.

Oleh karena semakin banyak penduduk yang terinfeksi Covid-19 di
Kota Bandung secara khusus dan Indonesia pada umumnya,
Pemerintah Kota Bandung langsung mengantisipasi segala
kemungkingan terburuk. Mengacu kepada standar yang ditetapkan
World Health Organization (WHO) dan Kementerian Kesehatan
Republik Indonesia, kampanye protokol kesehatan mulai digiatkan
meliputi langkah selalu memakai masker, rajin mencuci tangan dengan
sabun dan air yang mengalir serta menjaga jarak (social distancing atau
physical distancing). Di saat bersamaan, pemerintah kota menyiapkan
ketersediaan alat tes dan melakukan pelacakan, ketersediaan rumah
sakit hingga tenaga kesehatan.

Rumah Sakit Santo Borromeus sebagai penyedia layanan kesehatan
di Bandung juga terdampak oleh pandemi ini. Segala persiapan dan
penyediaan layanan terstandar dalam segala keterbatasan dan
tantangannya tetap dilakukan sepenuh hati. Perjuangan para suster
perintis di masa-masa awal karya ini menguatkan setiap pribadi yang
terlibat mengupayakan pelayanan terbaik yang bisa diusahakan. Semua
diawali dengan segala keterbatasan, mulai dari fasilitas hingga
ketersediaan ruang perawatan.

Coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) is a humanitarian tragedy that 261
has shook the world due to its extremely rapid transmission pattern via
droplets or droplets of liquid originating from patients’ coughs and
sneezes and long-term direct contact with patients. In fact, transmission
can occur simply by touching a virus-infected object or surface and then
unknowingly touching the mouth, nose, or eyes without first washing
contaminated hands. Since the virus outbreak, the presence of these
uninvited supermicro guests has resulted in millions of deaths and tens
of millions of infections. The Covid-19 pandemic has had a significant
impact on the world in many ways. On March 2, 2020, the Indonesian
government announced the first positive Covid-19 patient in Jakarta. A
few days later, the Bandung City Government reported the first positive
corona virus patient in West Java Province’s capital city.

Due to the increasing number of people infected with Covid-19 in
the City of Bandung in particular and Indonesia in general, the
Bandung City Government immediately anticipates all the worst
possibilities. According to the World Health Organization (WHO) and
the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia, the health
protocol campaign has begun to be intensified, including steps such as
wearing masks at all times, diligently washing hands with soap and



running water, and keeping a safe distance (social distancing or physical
distancing). Simultaneously, the city government prepares the
availability of test kits and conducts tracking, as well as the availability
of hospitals to health workers.

Santo Borromeus Hospital, a Bandung-based health-care provider,
was also impacted by the pandemic. All preparations and provision of
standardized services are still carried out wholeheartedly, despite their
limitations and challenges. The struggle of the pioneering nurses in the
early days of this work inspired everyone involved in providing the best
service possible. It all started with the limitations, from the facilities to
the availability of treatment rooms.

“Seperti para suster yang datang ke tanah misi, awalnya kami pun terjun
menangani pasien Covid-19 tanpa tahu harus berbuat apa. Kami menangani

sebisa mungkin apa yang bisa kami lakukan.”

treating Covid-19 patients with no idea what we were doing. We’re doing the best

we can with what we have.”

Garda Depan Kesehatan

Sejak awal penanganan pe-
nyebaran penularan virus
corona di Kota Bandung,
Rumah Sakit Santo Borromeus dian-
dalkan di garda depan oleh
pemerintah. Tanggal 17 Maret 2020,
di bawah terang Roh Kudus, gende-
rang perang ditabuh di rumah sakit
ini untuk melawan virus mematikan
tersebut.

Pada awal Maret 2020 tersiar berita
tentang adanya pasien yang terpapar
Covid-19 di rumah sakit. Waktu itu
belum ada regulasi yang jelas tentang
penanganan kasus terkait penyakit baru
ini. Pasien pertama yang ditangani
Rumah Sakit Santo Borromeus memang
belum dapat dinyatakan terkonfirmasi
positif, tetapi pasien tersebut memiliki
gejala-gejala yang mengindikasikan ter-
infeksi virus corona.

Frontline of Health

T he government has relied on the
Santo Borromeus Hospital at the
forefront of dealing with the
spread of corona virus transmission in the
city of Bandung since the beginning. On
March 17, 2020, under the light of the Holy
Spirit, the drums of war were beaten in this
hospital to combat the deadly virus.



Di tengah desakan situasi karena darurat bencana, rumah sakit telah
terkondisikan untuk selalu siap siaga dan memiliki Rencana
Penanggulangan Bencana di rumah sakit (Hospital Disaster Plan/HDP).
Tujuan dari manajemen kesiapsiagaan rumah sakit dalam menghadapi
bencana adalah untuk memastikan bahwa rumah sakit setiap saat berada
dalam kondisi siap siaga untuk berpartisipasi secara efektif dan efisien
dalam merespons kondisi darurat. Itulah sebabnya, Rumah Sakit Santo
Borromeus tanggap terhadap situasi dan segera memikirkan langkah
yang diambil agar dapat menyediakan tempat dan fasilitas yang memadai
untuk merawat pasien Covid-19. Namun, di saat bersamaan juga
memberikan pelayanan kepada pasien umum dengan risiko penularan
seminimal mungkin. Segala upaya dilakukan untuk dapat melayani
masyarakat dengan baik dan tetap terpercaya.

Ruang isolasi Covid-19 Rumah Sakit Santo Borromeus pertama kali 267
dibuka di Ruang Anna. Selanjutnya, menyusul dengan dibukanya Ruang
Irene 5. Karena kebutuhan akan ruang perawatan Covid-19 makin
bertambah, pada April 2020 Rumah Sakit Santo Borromeus membuka
Gedung Maria sebagai kamar isolasi Covid-19. Sampai saat buku ini
ditulis, upaya-upaya keterlibatan penanganan pandemi masih terus
berlangsung. Rumah Sakit Santo Borromeus mengoptimalkan sumber-
sumber daya yang dimiliki untuk mengambil bagian dalam menghadapi
pandemi Covid-19 ini.

In early March 2020, news broke about a patient in the hospital who
had been exposed to Covid19. There was no clear regulation in place
at the time regarding the handling of cases involving this new disease.
The first patient treated at Santo Borromeus Hospital had not yet been
confirmed positive, but he was exhibiting symptoms consistent with
corona virus infection.

In the midst of a disaster emergency, hospitals have been trained to
always be prepared and have a Hospital Disaster Plan (HDP). When
dealing with disasters, the goal of hospital preparedness management
is to ensure that hospitals are always ready to respond effectively and
efficiently. As a result, Santo Borromeus Hospital responds quickly to
the situation and considers what steps need to be taken to provide
adequate spaces and facilities for Covid-19 patients. However, it also
provides services to general patients with little risk of transmission.
Every effort is made to provide excellent service to the community
while remaining dependable.

The Covid-19 isolation room of the Santo Borromeus Hospital was
first opened in the Anna Room. Furthermore, following the opening
of Room Irene 5. Due to the increasing need for Covid-19 treatment
rooms, in April 2020 Santo Borromeus Hospital opened the Maria
Building as a Covid-19 isolation room. As of the time this book was
written, efforts to get involved in handling the pandemic are still
ongoing. Santo Borromeus Hospital optimizes its resources to take part
in dealing with the Covid-19 pandemic.

Tak banyak orang menyadari jika para perawat  dan tenaga medis
lainnya sebagai garda terdepan menghadapi pasien Covid-19 juga harus
bergumul mengatasi ketakutan mereka sendiri terhadap pandemi
mematikan ini. Tanggung jawab moral dan sumpah profesi menjadikan
tenaga medis harus tetap menjalankan tugasnya di tengah rasa cemas
dan khawatir. Dalam situasi ini, dukungan dari keluarga dan rekan-rekan
kerja serta ingatan akan sumpah profesi mengukuhkan semangat para
tenaga medis ini untuk terus bertugas melayani di ruang isolasi Covid-
19. Tak jarang, demi pelayanan bagi sesamanya, mereka terpaksa
menahan keinginan berkumpul bersama keluarga. Mereka harus disiplin
mengikuti serangkaian prosedur pemakaian alat pelindung diri (APD)
yang memakan waktu hingga 30 menit. Belum lagi pada awal pandemi
ini merebak, pakaian APD yang ada dan harus dikenakan terbuat dari
bahan yang sangat panas.

Sumpah profesi yang mengukuhkan semangat para tenaga medis
untuk tetap melayani di garda terdepan pelayanan kesehatan Rumah
Sakit Santo Borromeus ini masih dibentengi oleh semangat cinta kasih
dan bela rasa bagi sesama yang menderita. Di tengah rasa cemas dan
khawatir menghadapi pandemi yang mematikan serta belum sangat jelas
penatalaksanaannya di masa-masa awal pandemi, Tuhan tetap
menggerakkan hati para tenaga medis yang dengan ketulusan hati
menawarkan diri dan mau ikut terlibat aktif secara langsung menangani
Covid-19. Berkat pertolongan Tuhan dan demi raga yang lain, setiap lini
pelayanan bahu-membahu agar tetap bertahan dan bersama-sama
mengatasi kendala serta keterbatasan yang ada, melalui hari demi hari
di tengah pandemi.

Many people are unaware that nurses and other medical personnel
who are on the front lines of dealing with Covid-19 patients must also
overcome their own fears of this lethal pandemic. Moral responsibility
and the professional oath require medical personnel to continue
performing their duties in the face of anxiety and worry. In this
situation, the support of family and coworkers, as well as the memory
of the professional oath, strengthens these medical personnel’s resolve
to continue serving in the Covid-19 isolation room. They are frequently
forced to resist the desire to gather with their families in order to serve
one another. They must be disciplined enough to go through a series
of procedures for using personal protective equipment (PPE), which
can take up to 30 minutes. Not to mention that at the start of this
pandemic, the PPE clothing that was available and required to be worn
was made of extremely hot materials.



The professional oath that strengthens the spirit of medical
personnel at the Santo Borromeus Hospital to continue to serve at
the forefront of health services is still fortified by the spirit of love
and compassion for those who suffer. God moved the hearts of
medical personnel who sincerely offered themselves and were willing
to be actively involved in dealing with Covid-19 in the midst of

anxiety and worry about a deadly pandemic, and the management was
not very clear in the early days of the pandemic. Despite the
pandemic, every line of service works together to survive and
overcome obstacles and limitations, day after day, with God’s help
and for the benefit of others.

“Saat awal pandemi Covid-19, penanganan pasien
dilakukan oleh tenaga perawat yang mengajukan diri
atas dasar ketulusan hati untuk menolong sesama.”

care was provided by nurses who volunteered on the

basis of sincerity to help others.”

Peran Signifikan Masyarakat

di Era Pandemi

Mobilitas dan aktivitas sosial orang per orang di masa pandemi
Covid-19 berpotensi mempercepat penularan. Dalam situasi ini
masyarakat diimbau untuk tidak bepergian, kecuali jika sangat
mendesak. Tidak dapat dipungkiri bahwa pembatasan sosial ini berdampak
besar pada kehidupan masyarakat terutama di bidang perekonomian. Situasi
ini sangat dilematis. Oleh karena itu, peran masyarakat sangatlah signifikan.
Kesadaran dan peran masyarakat memutus rantai penularan Covid-19
menjadi faktor kunci bagi semua upaya pemulihan.

273

The Significant Role of Society
in the Era of the Pandemic

D uring the Covid-19 pandemic, individual mobility and social
activities have the potential to speed up transmission. People
are advised not to travel unless it is absolutely necessary in
this situation. It is undeniable that these social constraints have a
significant impact on people’s lives, particularly in terms of economics.
This is a very perplexing situation. As a result, the community’s role is
extremely important. All recovery efforts rely heavily on public awareness
and the community’s role in breaking the Covid-19 transmission chain.

Berakhirnya pandemi bukanlah di tangan pemerintah, apalagi di
tangan para petugas kesehatan. Pemerintah berinisiatif membuat suatu
regulasi demi kebaikan bersama, tetapi jika masyarakat tidak mau bekerja
sama dengan pemerintah mematuhi regulasi tersebut maka pandemi ini
sulit berakhir.

Berbagai imbauan bagi masyarakat agar memiliki kesadaran untuk
ikut terlibat secara aktif dalam pengendalian penyebaran kasus Covid-
19 mengalir dari berbagai pihak dengan kreativitas yang beragam.

“Kamu di Rumah Aja, Biar Kami yang Bekerja” menjadi slogan yang
digaungkan, salah satunya oleh tenaga kesehatan. Slogan ini muncul
dari keprihatinan atas masih rendahnya kesadaran masyarakat untuk
ikut terlibat dalam pengendalian penyebaran kasus Covid-19 mulai dari

diri mereka sendiri. Keprihatinan ini diperdalam oleh jeritan hati para 275
tenaga kesehatan yang pada masa pandemi memberikan diri demi tugas
dan tanggung jawabnya. Pilihan ini membawa konsekuensi yang tidak
ringan bagi para tenaga kesehatan sebab sering kali mereka harus rela
tidak pulang ke rumah untuk berjumpa dengan keluarga demi
meminimalkan potensi penularan. Mereka juga harus menunaikan
tanggung jawabnya di tengah tingkat stres yang tinggi yang terkadang
membuat daya tahan tubuh mereka menurun. Risiko besar ini harus
mereka tempuh agar dapat melayani masyarakat. Beribu-ribu slogan
dan ajakan bisa dibuat dan digaungkan. Namun, hal itu tidak akan
banyak berarti apabila tidak ada trust (kepercayaan) masyarakat terhadap
pemerintah dan pihak-pihak yang sungguh mengupayakan
pengendalian pandemi ini.

The government, much less health workers, are not in charge of
putting an end to the pandemic. The government has taken the initiative
to draft a regulation for the public good, but if the public refuses to
cooperate with the government in enforcing the regulation, the
pandemic will be difficult to contain.

Various calls for public awareness and active participation in
controlling the spread of Covid-19 cases come from a variety of
sources.

“You stay at home, let us do the work,” became a slogan that was
echoed by many people, including health workers. This slogan arose
from a concern about the lack of public awareness about how they can
help control the spread of Covid-19 cases by starting with themselves.
The voice of health workers who gave their lives for the sake of their
duties and responsibilities during the pandemic intensified this concern.
This decision has serious consequences for health workers because, in
order to reduce the risk of transmission, they must often be willing to
set aside seeing their families. They must also carry out their duties while
under high stress, which can impair their immune system. They must
take this substantial risk in order to serve the community. Thousands
of slogans and invitations can be created and repeated. However, if the
public lacks trust in the government and those who are genuinely
attempting to control the pandemic, none of this will matter.

Komitmen Rumah Sakit Santo Borromeus dalam penanganan
pandemi Covid-19 terwujud dalam kebijakan-kebijakan yang diambil.
Sejak virus corona mewabah, kebutuhan alat pelindung diri melonjak.
Masker, alat tes cepat (rapid test), kacamata pelindung, sarung tangan,
sepatu bot hingga pakaian hazardous materials (hazmat) langka di pasaran.
Segala upaya terus dilakukan untuk memenuhi kebutuhan tenaga
kesehatan, bahkan ketika masker medis sulit dicari, ketersediaan alat
pelindung diri untuk melindungi para tenaga kesehatan tetap diupayakan
dengan menjahit sendiri APD level 3. Segala upaya dilakukan agar
pengelolaan layanan tetap sesuai standar protokol kesehatan nasional
dan mendukung produktivitas kerja. Upaya ini sekaligus tetap
memprioritaskan kesehatan dan keselamatan dengan pencegahan dan
pengendalian transmisi Covid-19 sehingga dapat memberikan
perlindungan terhadap keselamatan pasien, masyarakat, lingkungan
rumah sakit dan sumber daya manusia di rumah sakit.

The Santo Borromeus Hospital’s commitment to dealing with the
Covid-19 pandemic is reflected in the policies that have been put in
place. The demand for personal protective equipment has increased
dramatically since the corona virus outbreak. On the market, there are
few masks, rapid test kits, protective goggles, gloves, boots, and clothing
for hazardous materials (hazmat). Every effort is being made to meet
the needs of health workers, even when medical masks are difficult to
find. The availability of personal protective equipment to protect health
workers is still being pursued by manufacturing its own level 3 PPE suits.
This effort also prioritizes health and safety by preventing and
controlling Covid-19 transmission so that it can protect patients, the
community, the hospital environment, and human resources in hospitals.

Vaksinasi Massal Covid-19

Melonjaknya angka kasus Covid-19 di Indonesia membuat
pemerintah mengupayakan percepatan program vaksinasi
Covid-19 sebagai salah satu upaya menekan kasus infeksi
yang disebabkan oleh virus corona. Program vaksinasi  Covid-19 di
Indonesia sudah mulai dilakukan secara bertahap sejak Januari 2021 lalu.
Sebagai bentuk dukungan terhadap percepatan pelaksanaan program
vaksinasi tersebut sekaligus melanjutkan komitmen untuk mendukung
Pemerintah Indonesia mengatasi pandemi Covid-19, Rumah Sakit Santo
Borromeus pun mendukung pelaksanaan vaksinasi ini.

Covid-19 Mass Vaccination

T he rising number of Covid-19 cases in Indonesia has
prompted the government to speed up the Covid-19
vaccination program in an effort to reduce the number of
cases of infection caused by the corona virus. Since January 2021, the
Covid-19 vaccination program in Indonesia has been implemented in
stages. Santo Borromeus Hospital supports the implementation of this
vaccination as part of its support for the acceleration of the vaccination
program, as well as its commitment to assisting the Government of
Indonesia in overcoming the Covid-19 pandemic.

Ruang yang semula digunakan untuk pelayanan rehabilitasi medik
Rumah Sakit Santo Borromeus di Jalan Ganesa Kota Bandung, akhirnya
dipilih dan dipersiapkan agar memenuhi syarat sebagai ruang pelayanan
vaksinasi Covid-19. Pelayanan vaksinasi di Rumah Sakit Santo
Borromeus dimulai sejak 14 Januari 2021. Pelayanan vaksinasi dibuka
setiap hari di luar hari Minggu dan libur nasional dalam tiga sesi. Sesi 1
pukul 08.00 – 09.30, sesi 2 pukul 09.30 – 11.00, dan sesi 3 pukul 11.00
– 12.30 WIB. Setiap hari masing-masing 30 orang per sesi kemudian
ditingkatkan menjadi 200 orang per hari.

Sasaran pertama program vaksinasi Covid-19 adalah para tenaga
kesehatan. Vaksinasi tahap 1 untuk tenaga kesehatan dapat diselesaikan
pada bulan Februari. Memasuki vaksinasi tahap 2, Rumah Sakit Santo
Borromeus menambah jumlah anggota tim seiring dengan penambahan
jumlah sasaran penerima vaksin. Pelayanan ini memang mensyaratkan
kelengkapan administrasi yang harus dilakukan secara manual. Tim
harus melaporkan pelaksanaan vaksinasi setiap harinya mulai dari nama
sasaran vaksin, Nomor Induk Kependudukan (NIK), alamat, usia
hingga batch vaksinnya.

The room, which had previously been used for medical 281
rehabilitation services at the Santo Borromeus Hospital on Jalan
Ganesa in Bandung City, was finally chosen and prepared to meet the
requirements as a Covid-19 vaccination service room. The Santo
Borromeus Hospital’s vaccination service started on January 14, 2021.
Outside of Sundays and national holidays, the vaccination service was
available in three sessions every day. Session 1 at 08.00 – 09.30, session
2 at 09.30 – 11.00, and session 3 at 11.00 – 12.30 WIB. Each day 30
people per session, then increased to 200 people per day.

The Covid-19 vaccination program began with health workers as its
primary target. The first round of vaccinations for health workers should
be completed by February. Santo Borromeus Hospital had increased the
number of team members as the number of targeted vaccine recipients
increased as the vaccination reached the second stage. This service
necessitated administrative completion, which had to be done manually.
Every day, the team must report on the implementation of vaccinations,
beginning with the name of the vaccine target, Population Identification
Number (NIK), address, age, and vaccine batch.

Vaccination services for the community have continued at the Santo
Borromeus Hospital since the government received data on the elderly
target recipients of vaccines in March 2021. The Santo Borromeus
Hospital received approximately 2,000 names of elderly vaccination
registrants. This amount was quite large when compared to the amount
received by other private hospitals. Following data validation, 1,500
names of elderly vaccine participants were obtained.

Similarly, phase 2 vaccination for the elderly (≥ 60 years old) was
carried out by 100 people per day, divided into three sessions. The
elderly’s limited mobility became one of the team’s primary
considerations in determining the safe limit for the number of elderly
vaccination participants per day. This must be carefully considered in
light of the fact that vaccination must continue to follow health
protocols. At this stage, data on target recipients of vaccines received
reached 5,000 participants. After going through the data validation
process, however, the data obtained was 3,100 participants.

Data validation is required to prevent duplicate data from being
entered as a result of repeated registrations that are entered twice

Pelayanan vaksinasi bagi masyarakat di Rumah Sakit Santo
Borromeus berlanjut sejak diterima data masyarakat lanjut usia sasaran
penerima vaksin dari pemerintah pada Maret 2021. Sekitar 2.000 nama
pendaftar vaksinasi lansia masuk ke Rumah Sakit Santo Borromeus.
Jumlah ini cukup tinggi dibandingkan jumlah yang diterima oleh rumah
sakit swasta lainnya. Setelah melakukan validasi data, diperoleh jumlah
1.500 nama peserta vaksin lansia.

Demikian pula dengan pelaksanaan vaksinasi tahap 2 bagi masyarakat
lanjut usia (≥ 60 tahun) terlaksana sebanyak 100 orang per hari yang
dibagi dalam tiga sesi. Keterbatasan mobilitas para lansia menjadi salah
satu dasar pertimbangan tim untuk menentukan batas aman jumlah
peserta vaksinasi lansia per hari. Hal ini perlu diperhitungkan dengan
cermat mengingat pelaksanaan vaksinasi harus tetap menerapkan
protokol kesehatan. Data sasaran penerima vaksin yang diterima pada
tahap ini mencapai 5.000 peserta. Akan tetapi, setelah melalui proses
validasi data diperoleh data peserta sebanyak 3.100 orang.

Validasi data perlu dilakukan untuk mengantisipasi data ganda yang
mungkin terjadi akibat pendaftaran berulang yang terinput dua kali
karena menggunakan nomor telepon yang berbeda. Ketelitian
merupakan perwujudan nilai assurance yang menjadi salah satu nilai dari
keutuhan tata nilai ICARE yang terus-menerus dibangun dalam
pelayanan prima Rumah Sakit Santo Borromeus.

Kendala dan keterbatasan sistem tidak menyurutkan kreativitas tim
vaksinasi Rumah Sakit Santo Borromeus. Tim bekerja ekstra untuk
memberikan informasi-informasi penting bagi sasaran penerima vaksin
dengan memanfaatkan google form, disampaikan melalui aplikasi pesan
Whatsapp, Short Message Service (SMS) hingga melalui telepon. Tim tetap
mengupayakan pelayanan optimal didasari cinta kasih bagi para lansia
yang akan mengakses pelayanan vaksinasi di Rumah Sakit Santo
Borromeus. Hal ini diupayakan dengan penyediaan tanda screening awal
dalam bentuk logo yang didesain khusus untuk memperlancar hari
pelaksanaan vaksinasi. Dalam kepedulian, bela rasa dan kasih bagi
sesama, perwujudan ICARE menjadi tampak jelas. Integritas pribadi-
pribadi (integrity) pelayan kesehatan nampak dalam segala upaya,
kreativitas dan kerelaan mengupayakan lebih demi pelayanan prima.

because they use different phone numbers. Accuracy is an embodiment
of the assurance value, which is one of the values of ICARE’s integrity
that is constantly built in the excellent service of the Santo Borromeus
Hospital.

The system’s constraints and limitations did not dampen the Santo
Borromeus Hospital’s vaccination team’s creativity. The team went
above and beyond to provide critical information to targeted vaccine
recipients via Google forms, Whatsapp messaging apps, Short Message
Service (SMS), and phone calls. The team will continue to strive for
optimal service based on love for the elderly who will receive
vaccinations at the Santo Borromeus Hospital. This is attempted by
providing an initial screening sign in the form of a specially designed
logo in order to expedite the vaccination day. ICARE manifests itself
in acts of caring, compassion, and love for others. All of the health
care workers’ efforts, creativity, and willingness to try new things for
the sake of providing excellent service demonstrate their integrity.

agar pelayanan vaksinasi bagi lansia dapat berjalan dengan lancar dan
peserta vaksin terfasilitasi dengan baik.

compassion for those being served. Respect is also evident in every 285
detail that is considered so that vaccination services for the elderly can
run smoothly and vaccine participants are well facilitated.

It is critical for a public service facility to establish a network of
collaboration with other parties who share the same goal. Conditions
in the service do not always occur in the expected manner. However,
in the face of challenges and obstacles, the readiness of every individual
ICARE participant in it is unyielding. The availability of vaccines has
been one of the issues encountered during the implementation of the
Covid-19 vaccination program. Following the government’s
procurement procedures for goods and services in the context of
dealing with the Covid-19 pandemic, the Santo Borromeus Hospital
must collaborate with the Sekeloa Health Center in Bandung City in
terms of procuring vaccines.

Some of the vaccination participants in the elderly target group (≥
60 years) at the Santo Borromeus Hospital were over 90 years old. In
fact, one of the people who took part in the vaccination on behalf of
Eddy Yoshawirja was nearly a century old. Eddy Yoshawirja, who was
born in Bandung on June 12, 1921, was the oldest recipient of the
Covid-19 vaccine in Indonesia when he received it on March 1, 2021.

Eddy Yoshawirja, who was 99 years and 9 months old when registering
for vaccination, was registered by his son, Benny Yoshawirja, online on
the website provided by the Ministry of Health. Eddy Yoshawirja initially
failed the screening due to a history of kidney disease and other associated
diseases. Eddy Yoshawirja was unable to confirm whether he could be
vaccinated until the day of the vaccine’s administration. His family had
decided not to include him due to health and age concerns.

Santo Borromeus Hospital established an expert consultation
service in response to Eddy Yoshawirja’s family’s concerns. Eddy
Yoshawirja was finally cleared to receive the Covid-19 vaccine after
consulting with four doctors ranging from general practitioners to
internists to doctors who regularly treat him. On March 1, 2021, he
underwent the vaccination program for the first time, followed by the
injection of the second dose of vaccine on March 29, 2021. Thank
God, he did not experience any side effects after receiving the first and
the second dose of vaccine.

pelayanan publik. Kondisi yang terjadi dalam pelayanan tidaklah selalu
terjadi sebagaimana yang diharapkan. Namun, kesiapsediaan setiap
pribadi ICARE yang terlibat di dalamnya tidaklah pantang menyerah di
hadapan tantangan dan kendala. Permasalahan yang pernah dihadapi
dalam penyelenggaraan program vaksinasi Covid-19 di antaranya adalah
terkait ketersediaan vaksin. Mengikuti prosedur pengadaan barang dan
jasa yang ditetapkan pemerintah dalam rangka penanganan pandemi
Covid-19, pihak Rumah Sakit Santo Borromeus harus bekerja sama
dengan Puskesmas Sekeloa Kota Bandung dalam hal pengadaan vaksin.

Di antara sekian banyak peserta vaksinasi kategori kelompok sasaran
usia lanjut (≥ 60 tahun) di Rumah Sakit Santo Borromeus, beberapa di
antaranya sudah berusia di atas 90 tahun. Bahkan, seorang peserta
vaksinasi atas nama Eddy Yoshawirja usianya telah hampir mencapai
seratus tahun. Pada saat menerima vaksin Covid-19 pada 1 Maret 2021,
Eddy Yoshawirja yang lahir di Bandung pada 12 Juni 1921 tecatat
sebagai penerima vaksin Covid-19 tertua di Indonesia.

Eddy Yoshawirja yang saat pendaftaran vaksinasi berusia 99 tahun 9
bulan didaftarkan oleh putranya, Benny Yoshawirja, secara online di
laman yang disediakan oleh Kementerian Kesehatan. Pada saat itu,
Rumah Sakit Santo Borromeus langsung menjadi pilihan pertama.

Awalnya, Eddy Yoshawirja tidak lolos dalam penyaringan lantaran
riwayat penyakit ginjal serta beberapa penyakit lain yang menyertainya.
Sampai pada hari penerimaan vaksin yang ditentukan, Eddy Yoshawirja
tak kunjung memperoleh kepastian apakah dirinya bisa divaksinasi atau
tidak. Pihak keluarga pun sempat memutuskan untuk tidak jadi
mengikutsertakan beliau karena pertimbangan kesehatan dan faktor usia.

Menanggapi kekhawatiran keluarga Eddy Yoshawirja, Rumah Sakit
Santo Borromeus membuka layanan konsul ahli. Setelah berkonsultasi
kepada empat dokter mulai dari dokter umum, internis hingga dokter
yang rutin merawatnya, akhirnya Eddy Yoshawirja dinyatakan boleh
menerima vaksin Covid-19. Beliau menjalani program vaksinasi
penyuntikan pertama pada 1 Maret 2021 dilanjutkan dengan
penyuntikan vaksin dosis kedua pada 29 Maret 2021. Syukur kepada
Allah sebab usai menjalani penyuntikan vaksin dosis pertama maupun
kedua, beliau tidak merasakan keluhan apa pun.

pandemi ini. Kalau kita bisa berperan di sini kenapa tidak.

Intinya sebanyak mungkin, secepat mungkin, sesingkat

Berdasarkan SK Kementerian Kesehatan Republik Indonesia
Direktorat Jenderal Pencegahan dan Pengendalian Penyakit No.
SR.02.06/II/581/2021 tanggal 5 Maret 2021 tentang Pelaksanaan
Vaksinasi Covid-19, menunjuk Keuskupan Bandung bersama 10
keuskupan lainnya di bawah koordinasi Konferensi Waligereja Indonesia
(KWI) sebagai pelaksana vaksinasi Covid-19 bagi kelompok lansia dan
pelayan publik.

Vaksinasi massal yang membidik sasaran dari kelompok pelayan
publik (guru-guru) dan para pemuka agama di wilayah Bandung Raya ini
terselenggara berkat koordinasi Pimpinan CARITAS Keuskupan
Bandung Pastor Agustinus Darwanto dengan Dinas Kesehatan Provinsi
Jawa Barat. Koordinasi ini membuahkan kesepakatan bersama untuk
memberikan layanan vaksinasi bagi 1.500 peserta. Perhimpunan
Perkumpulan Santo Borromeus menanggapi secara terbuka tawaran kerja
sama untuk melaksanakan program ini. Untuk itu unit-unit operasional
di bawah payung Perhimpunan Perkumpulan Santo Borromeus yang
terdiri dari Rumah Sakit Santo Borromeus, Rumah Sakit Santo Yusup,
dan Rumah Sakit Cahya Kawaluyan bahu-membahu mengambil peran
sebagai pelaksana dibantu oleh para staf Keuskupan Bandung.

The mass vaccination, which targeted groups of public servants 291
(teachers) and religious leaders in the Greater Bandung area, was carried
out with the help of the Bandung Diocese’s CARITAS Leader, Pastor
Agustinus Darwanto, and the West Java Provincial Health Office. This
collaboration resulted in an agreement to provide vaccination services
to 1,500 participants. The Society of Santo Borromeus responded
openly to the offer of collaboration to implement this program. As a
result, the operational units under the umbrella of the Santo Borromeus
Association, which included the Santo Borromeus Hospital, the Santo
Yusup Hospital, and the Cahya Kawaluyan Hospital, took on the role
of executor, aided by the staff of the Diocese of Bandung.

The vaccination activity, which took place on March 29 – 31, 2021
at the Bumi Silih Asih Diocese of Bandung, was warmly welcomed by
the invitees. Mgr. Antonius Subianto Bunjamin OSC, Bishop of
Bandung, strongly supports this as a form of Church participation in
the success of the government’s program to eradicate and overcome
Covid-19 through community vaccinations. In his remarks at the start
of the vaccination event, he praised all of the preparation efforts made
by various parties. He also advised participants to continue following
the health protocol (5M) to help prevent the corona virus from
spreading.

Candidates for vaccine recipients, who had been approved by the
health office based on criteria and the mechanism by name and address,
arrived according to the committee’s schedule of days and hours.
Through strict health protocols and the prescribed vaccination process
flow, this activity ran in an orderly and smooth manner. In practice,
several prospective recipients did not show up or did not pass the health
screening in order to be vaccinated. This open slot was then filled by
other people at the vaccination site in accordance with the procedures
and criteria that had been established.

tetapi juga fakta di lapangan. Kita berharap, suatu hari Covid-19 dapat

segera diatasi sehingga kita dapat melaksanakan kehidupan normal
kembali. Menjadi masyarakat yang badannya sehat dan kuat, jiwanya

matang dan dewasa, serta memiliki iman yang dalam.”
