Palembang, The Indonesia Post – The Governor of South Sumatra H Herman Deru witnessed the Inauguration of the Indonesian Association of Obstetrics and Gynecology (POGI) South Sumatra Branch for the 2022-2025 Period. The inauguration was carried out by the Deputy Chairperson of PP POGI. In addition, HD also confirmed the Palembang Branch of the Indonesian Cancer Foundation (YKI) for the 2022-2027 service period.

After inaugurating the YKI Palembang Branch, HD conveyed that the two organizations that were newly inaugurated and inaugurated today are organizations that are growing in popularity.

“This association must be based on sincerity so that communication can be established between juniors to seniors and vice versa to gain experience, information which is of course related to cases. This includes legal literacy issues,” said HD.

HD continued, with SPOG still very limited in South Sumatra, around 241 people and mostly distributed in cities, POGI should provide services to people in remote areas by visiting at least once a week to find out complaints and convey health information.

“It can also be done by collaborating and coaching Posyandu-Posyandu in villages which are at the forefront of public health. It has been proven so far, through coaching to Posyandu, it can reduce stunting rates. Currently, South Sumatra is the province with the most/best reductions in editing. From the previous 24.8%, now only 18% ” Clearly HD.

To the Indonesian Cancer Foundation, HD advises the public to socialize more about the prevention and spread of cancer.

“So that people can know what cancer is, how to prevent and stop its spread, YKI can also be formed in districts/cities” concluded HD. (mhn/ril)
