As part of broader efforts to commemorate 60 years of bilateral relations between Indonesia and Japan, PT. Hitachi Asia Indonesia (HAS-IDN) and six Hitachi Group Companies1 (GOCs) in Indonesia have launched a health outreach program in the country.
This initiative, “Health Alert†or Siaga Sehat is a joint collaboration between Hitachi and Yayasan Rumah Zakat, a philanthropic foundation which manages donations and social funds and facilitates programs that empower the community.
Held for the third consecutive year, the health outreach seeks to facilitate the provision of free medical consultation, medical provisions as well as general health education for beneficiaries across 10 locations2 this year. Targeted towards communities with low income levels, this outreach also aims to strengthen the public health awareness in locations where people may have limited access or resources to healthcare amenities.
First introduced in 2016, HAS-IDN rolled out the first edition of Siaga Sehat to four locations surrounding Jakarta City to benefit over 450 people. In 2017, the health outreach was expanded to six locations benefitting over 700 people. This year, HAS-IDN and its GOCs reached out to 10 locations to benefit over 1,200 individuals to reinforce the importance of preventive healthcare.
1 The six Hitachi GOCs are PT. Hitachi Chemical Indonesia, PT. Hitachi High-Technologies Indonesia, PT. Hitachi Metals Indonesia, PT. Hitachi Modern Sales Indonesia, PT. Hitachi Power Systems Indonesia and PT. Hitachi Terminal Solutions Indonesia.
2 The 10 locations in Indonesia are situated across Jakarta Barat, Depok, Cikarang Utara, Cikarang Selatan, Tangerang, Cilegon, Karawang, Bekasi, Bogor and Jakarta Selatan.
