As a step to mitigate health impacts resulting from the fire at the Jatiwaringin Final Disposal Site (TPA), the Cisauk UPTD Community Health Center (Puskesmas) swiftly set up a health service post. This action was taken on Wednesday, July 8, 2026, as a rapid response to the potential emergence of various health issues in the vicinity of the incident location.
The post focuses on handling various medical complaints triggered by smoke exposure, such as respiratory tract disorders, eye irritation, and other general health complaints. The medical team on duty not only provides examinations and initial treatment, but also actively delivers preventive education to local residents and field officers at the disaster location.
To reduce worse health risks, officers urge the public to strictly wear masks when engaging in outdoor activities and increase their water consumption. Residents are also asked to immediately access health services at the post if they experience symptoms such as shortness of breath or a persistent cough.
Through this emergency response action, Cisauk Health Center reinforces its commitment to delivering responsive health services amidst critical situations. Cross-sector synergy is expected to minimize the negative impact of the smoke disaster on public health while ensuring that the community receives swift and adequate medical treatment.
