PSI emphasizes animal health services in Jakarta, encourages 15 Puskeswan Build

Jakarta – PSI politician, Francine Widjojo, highlighted animal health services in Jakarta, which is still minimal. He encouraged the Jakarta Provincial Government (Pemprov) to build 15 Puskesmas Special Animal (Puskeswan). “Currently, only one animal health center or puskeswan is serving domestic animals such as cats and dogs,” Francine told reporters Tuesday (10/6/2025). Francine regarded Puskeswan as an important basis before jointly talking about the funding of animal health services. He said the animal pussy masmen in Jakarta also could not serve 24 hours.

Francine asked the DKI Jakarta provincial government to first build and strengthen the Puskeswan services in Jakarta. This is in line with the mandate of the Minister of Agriculture Regulation No. 64 of 2007. “When referring to the by -law, Jakarta must have a minimum of 15 Puskewan,” says Francine. “While Jakarta currently has only one -Livestock Puskeswan in South Jakarta,” he added. The DKI Jakarta DPRD Commission B -Member also responded to the discourse to plant microchips in animals in Jakarta. He reminded that this step should be accompanied by the readiness of a qualified data system and data collection. “Right now, the DKI Jakarta Regulation Number 199 of 2016, which is in force in Jakarta, is also only needed on dog microchips. Even that for 9 years was also not executed because the data system was not fully supported,” Francine said. He also emphasized the plan to make the thematic island of cats on Tidung Kecil Island in the thousand islands Regency. According to Francine, the DKI Jakarta provincial government is better to include compliance with a minimum obligation of 15 Puskeswan into the regional medium term development plan (RPJMD), such as the mandate of Permentan 64/2007. “The formation of this 15 Puskeswan is a basic need that must first be satisfied until you create populist programs that will also not be effective without the support of basic health services for animals in Jakarta,” he concluded.
