26th Anniversary of IHC, Indonesian Healthcare Energy  

Jakarta, October 24, 2023 – At age 26, PT Pertamina Bina Medika - Indonesia Healthcare Corporation (IHC) is committed to providing healthcare energy for national health resilience. The IHC Medical Forum serves as the main event of IHC's 26th anniversary celebrations, attended by healthcare experts, doctors, and medical professionals from the IHC Group. Among the topics discussed were Medico-legal aspects, as preparation for anticipating potential medical disputes. Healthcare professionals need to pay attention to patients' rights, exhibit good behavior and communication with patients, ensure that explanations provided are clear and understandable, maintain comprehensive, accurate, and meticulous medical records, practice according to professional standards, service standards, operational procedures, professional ethics, and patient healthcare needs.

As a contribution to reducing the Maternal Mortality Rate (MMR) in Indonesia, the IHC Medical Forum also provides education on quality pre-pregnancy examinations and Antenatal Care (ANC). This education is crucial in identifying high-risk factors in pregnancy and childbirth.

The role and collaboration of all healthcare professionals in Primary Healthcare Facilities (Fasyankes) and Referral Healthcare Facilities (Fasyankes Rujukan) are also important and highly needed to reduce Maternal Mortality Rates through holistic and structured screening and early referrals for mothers with medical and obstetric issues, including risk factors such as preeclampsia.

President Director of IHC, Dr. Mira Dyah Wahyuni, MARS, emphasized the importance of the Medical Forum as an upskilling of Human Resources (HR) competence in the IHC Group.

"To become a strong Hospital Holding Company that can be on par with major Hospital Holdings in Indonesia and internationally. Following the State-Owned Enterprise's vision to Go Global in leading our country towards Indonesia Emas 2045," said Dr. Mira in her speech during IHC’s 26th-anniversary celebration.

Dr. Mira continued that standardization, transformation, revenue enhancement, and efficiency will be IHC's challenges in the coming year, in addition to improving HR competencies and capabilities in both managerial and service aspects, focusing on maintaining patient safety and quality.
