 Chief of the Presidential Office (KSP) Moeldoko has made assurance that the government will allocate a budget for the development of Nusantara Capital City (IKN) in the 2025 draft state budget.

While the exact amount is not determined yet, Moeldoko remarked that the IKN development is included in the long-term development plan (RPJP).

“The IKN (development) has been included in the state strategic document,” he remarked here on Tuesday.

The next administration of President-elect Prabowo Subianto and Vice President-elect Gibran Rakabuming Raka will calculate the state budget’s capability for the IKN development.

The KSP chief stated that the realization of the new capital city development will take into account the next government’s needs and priorities.

In addition, Moeldoko believes there is no reason to harbor concerns about the continuation of IKN’s development, as he said the next government aligns with the current government.

The Health Ministry will summon the Cipto Mangunkusumo National General Hospital (RSCM) to discuss the detection of 60 cases of kidney failure in children by the hospital.

“I will summon representatives from RSCM; this is related to the kidney failure cases,” Health Minister Budi Gunadi Sadikin informed at the Tebet Community Health Center (Puskesmas), South Jakarta, on Tuesday.

According to him, health workers at puskesmas conducted a massive screening for adults and children and recorded their findings.

However, the cases were recorded over a long period, the minister said.

“Puskesmas had conducted 200 million screenings of more than 60 million people. It showed data of children with high blood sugar,” he added.

Detection of high blood sugar leads to a diagnosis of type two diabetes in children, the minister noted.

Therefore, special treatment is needed, including by referral to RSCM, Sadikin said.

“Kidney failure cases at hospitals did not suddenly increase because of an extraordinary event, but because it was not detected in the past,” he added.

Therefore, his ministry urged kidney failure patients to raise their awareness about the disease through screening at the hospital so they can get better treatment.

Sadikin also urged the public to reduce sugar intake which can lead to stroke, kidney failure, and eye diseases.

The DKI Jakarta Provincial Health Service previously reported that 60 children underwent kidney failure therapy at RSCM.

The DKI provincial government provided seven pediatric specialists sub-specializing in nephrology to treat children with kidney failure.

The seven specialists were stationed at several hospitals — four at RSCM, two at Bunda Harapan Kita Children’s Hospital, and one at Pantai Indah Kapuk Hospital.

Kidney failure in children can be treated with dialysis therapy.
