UGM continues to move and contribute to handling the Covid pandemic during the emergency restrictions on community activities (PPKM) after preparing several shelters for Covid-19 patients. By cooperating with alumni and partners, PT. Kaltim Methanol Industry and PT. PLN (Persero), UGM received oxygen supply assistance for Sardjito Hospital last night. Meanwhile, the 02 KMI tank from Cilegon is currently on its way, which carries 12 tons of oxygen for the UGM Academic Hospital (RSA.
“A total of 15 tons from PT. KMI and 4 tons from PT. PLN last night,” said the Vice-Chancellor for Cooperation and Alumni, Prof. Dr. Paripurna on Thursday (15/7).
Paripurna said the arrival of this oxygen supply is also thanks to the role of alumni, particularly the General Director of PT. KMI and the Chairman of Katgama, Agus Priyatno, partners and Chairman of the Board of Trustees, Prof. Pratikno, who helped coordinate the arrival of the aid. Sardjito Hospital will coordinate the distribution of oxygen that has arrived.
“Hopefully this will prevent or anticipate lack of oxygen at Sardjito Hospital,” added Paripurna.
Not only now, PT KMI and PT PLN (Persero) are also committed to maintaining the continuity of oxygen availability at Sardjito Hospital. Previously, PLN had also coordinated with the Ministry of Health to monitor various hospitals that urgently needed assistance in oxygen supply.
