The self-isolation service at Griya Anabatic was especially deemed appropriate to be launched during this time owing to the daily increase in cases of patients exposed to the COVID-19 virus and the situation of several Indonesian families with limited rooms for isolation, ATIC President Commissioner and Independent Commissioner Ignasius Jonan noted in a press statement, quoted on Monday.
KlikDokter and ATIC provided 192 self-isolation rooms in Griya Anabatic, located in Bojong Nangka, Kelapa Dua, Tangerang, Banten, for COVID-19 patients without symptoms or with mild symptoms.
Patients can self-isolate with supervision and health consultation from KlikDokter. They will also receive vitamin packs, oximeters, thermometers, and 24-hour nurse services.
Asymptomatic patients can still conduct their activities since the self-isolation rooms are said to be equipped with WiFi network.
This service was launched virtually and was attended by ATIC President Commissioner and Independent Commissioner Ignasius Jonan, KlikDokter CEO Dino Bramanto, President Director of ATIC Harry Surjanto, E-Health Director of PT Kalbe Farma Tbk Michael Bujung Nugroho, and representatives from the Tangerang regional government.
Jonan explained that when a family member is exposed to COVID-19, the potential for transmission to other members is very high in the case of those not having adequate places to self-isolate.
"I hope that this self-isolation service from KlikDokter at Griya Anabatic would help to reduce the potential increase in family clusters," Jonan affirmed.
ATIC President Director Harry Surjanto noted that the recent spike in COVID-19 cases was indeed a matter of grave concern. Hence, the ATIC decided to contribute by reopening Griya Anabatic as a place to self-isolate for patients, with mild symptoms or asymptomatic, as an extension to what was done last year.
"This time, we are collaborating with KlikDokter to provide self-isolation service facilities and health services for people in need in order to make it easier for patients and their families to monitor the health conditions of people with mild or no symptoms in accordance with the applicable health standards," he stated.
"In the midst of this pandemic, we should collaborate in order to meet the needs of the community to avail safe and fast health services. This is because Griya Anabatic is not a health facility, and only COVID-19 patients without symptoms or experiencing mild symptoms can self-isolate there," KlikDokter CEO Dino Bramanto remarked.
