“Chemo is rare, because this is a service that has special requirements that must be completed, such as a special drug concoction room, a special chemo room and an oncologist who are also rare,” he said when interviewed on Thursday (6/7).
Because it is prime, said Kurniasih, while the service has only been open for patients in the Purwakarta, Subang, Karawang (Purwasuka) and Bekasi areas.
“Thank God all the facilities are complete and BPJS also has ACC. We prioritize the people of Karawang,” he said.
Regarding the procedure, he explained, patients cannot immediately receive chemo action because they have to go through a (long) diagnosis process beforehand until the disease is known for certain.
“The process takes about 2 weeks to 1 month, there are several examinations such as labs, radiology to heart examinations,” he explained.
