Palembang, KOTABARI.COM – The fate of Dr. Margaretha, Head of Sabokingking Community Health Center in IT II District, Palembang, hangs in the balance after being reported by several of her employees to the Palembang City Inspectorate. The threat of dismissal from her position looms after allegations of arrogant behavior were levied against her by some staff members.
The reports highlight Dr. Margaretha’s alleged actions of withholding National Health Insurance (JKN) funds, prohibiting her employees from getting pregnant, and obstructing them from attending to sick family members. Head of Palembang Inspectorate, Jamiah, confirmed the receipt of an official letter regarding the issue. However, she stated that they are still monitoring the latest developments and will discuss it with a special team.
“As soon as possible, we will form a team and report to the Mayor of Palembang,” Jamiah said on Tuesday (13/2/2024).
Dr. Margaretha herself clarified the issues involving the employees of the Health Center where she works as misunderstandings that have been resolved in an internal meeting with the Head of Inspectorate and the Head of the Health Department last Wednesday.
“All issues have been resolved through an internal meeting with the Head of Inspectorate and the Head of the Health Department last Wednesday. The conclusion we reached is that it was all due to miscommunication,” explained Dr. Margaretha.
Nevertheless, the future of Dr. Margaretha’s position as Head of Sabokingking Community Health Center is still uncertain. Although she currently holds the position, she faces the risk of being dismissed pending the ongoing evaluation process.
“So far, Dr. Margaretha still holds the position, but she is indeed at risk of being dismissed pending the evaluation process. We hope that the team’s work will yield results soon,” she added.
With various clarifications provided, Dr. Margaretha hopes that such issues will not recur in the future and ensures that providing services to patients and sick residents remains the top priority.
