Menarik juga. Jika kita melihat persoalan hidrosefalus, isu korban dari public health systemnya apa?
ReplyDeleteSeperti contoh kemarin, penderita tuberkulosis adalah korban dari kegagalan dinas kesehatan membuat penderita memperoleh pengobatan hinggga tuntas. Dinas kesehatan membuat sistem DOTS agar tidak terjadi drop out. Dinas kesehatan memberikan vaksinasi BCG pada semua orang secara gratis.
Jika program public health oleh dinas berhasil, maka tidak ada lagi penularan tuberkulosis. Kenyataannya tuberkulosis masih tinggi. Jadi public health kita masih gagal.
Bagaimana logka kegagalan public health dalam kasus hidrosefalus?
Selamat akhir tahun...
