Cianjur - The Cianjur Regency Government is open to investment, especially in the hospital health sector. The reason is, Cianjur currently still lacks hospitals. Cianjur Regent Herman Suherman said the area nicknamed 'Santri City' still lacks three hospitals with a patient capacity of 1,500 beds.

Herman said that with a total population of 2.6 million people, Cianjur requires a total of 2,600 beds for inpatient treatment. However, initially Cianjur only had 6 hospitals with a total of 1,000 inpatient beds.

"We still don't have enough beds," said Herman, Monday (9/9/2024).

Herman said that his party is very open to investment in the health sector. Because Cianjur still needs around 3 hospitals to meet health service needs.

"We will simplify and speed up all forms of licensing, so that investment in the health sector is easier to enter for the sake of the Cianjur health index. Because we still need 3 more hospitals, especially in the southern region," he said.

The shortage of hospitals in Cianjur is slowly being answered. Edelweiss Hospital officially operates and adds to the total number of hospitals in Cianjur.

"Of course we will be helped by this new hospital, so we can increase health services in Cianjur Regency. Apart from that, residents will have an alternative to having a hospital if they are sick," he said.

Chairman of Edelweiss Healthcare Group, Syauqi Robbani, said that at Edelweiss Cianjur Hospital a total of 150 beds were prepared for inpatient treatment.

"Today our hospital officially opened. The process is quite fast, only 3 years from initial planning. For this initial stage we prepared 100 beds, then increased to 150 beds. For our workforce we absorb 450 people," he said.

Meanwhile, Director of Edelweiss Cianjur Hospital, Ratih Rustiati, said that Edelweiss Hospital is equipped with modern facilities and professional medical staff.

"We are committed to providing excellent, friendly, and most importantly affordable service to all patients for better public health," he said.
