RSUD Jayapura Perkuat Layanan Kritis untuk Percepat Penanganan Pasien Gawat Darurat

JAYAPURA - RSUD Jayapura menyiapkan rencana pengembangan layanan rumah sakit dengan memperkuat kapasitas perawatan intensif, khususnya Intensive Care Unit (ICU) dan Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). Penguatan ini diarahkan untuk memastikan pasien kritis, termasuk bayi, dapat ditangani lebih cepat dan optimal seiring meningkatnya kebutuhan layanan rujukan di Papua.

Pelaksana Tugas Direktur RSUD Jayapura, Andreas Pekey, mengatakan keterbatasan ruang ICU dan NICU masih menjadi tantangan utama dalam pelayanan. Menurutnya, peningkatan jumlah penduduk serta tingginya pasien rujukan dari berbagai wilayah membuat kebutuhan perawatan intensif terus bertambah.

“Manajemen rumah sakit sudah mengidentifikasi persoalan tersebut dan mulai menyiapkan desain bangunan baru. Gedung ini direncanakan untuk menampung kebutuhan layanan perawatan intensif bagi pasien dewasa maupun bayi,” ujar Andreas, Senin (12/1/2026).

Ia menjelaskan, dari sekitar 300 tempat tidur yang tersedia, kebutuhan ideal ruang ICU seharusnya mencapai sekitar 10 persen. Namun kapasitas ruang perawatan intensif yang ada saat ini masih belum memenuhi kebutuhan tersebut.

“Jayapura sudah bukan seperti dulu. Penduduk bertambah, kasus gawat darurat meningkat, tetapi kapasitas rumah sakit belum berkembang secara seimbang,” katanya.

Menurut Andreas, penambahan gedung dan peningkatan kapasitas ICU diharapkan dapat menekan penumpukan pasien di Instalasi Gawat Darurat (IGD). Dengan layanan intensif yang memadai, penanganan pasien kritis dapat lebih cepat, terarah, dan berdampak pada peningkatan keselamatan pasien.

“Kami menargetkan penguatan layanan kritis ini sebagai bagian dari perbaikan menyeluruh sistem pelayanan rumah sakit. Harapannya meningkatkan keselamatan pasien dan kualitas layanan kesehatan di Papua,” ucapnya. ***

JAYAPURA — Jayapura Regional General Hospital (RSUD Jayapura) is preparing a hospital service development plan by strengthening intensive care capacity, particularly in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). This effort is aimed at ensuring that critically ill patients, including infants, can be treated more quickly and effectively as the demand for referral services in Papua continues to rise.

Acting Director of RSUD Jayapura, Andreas Pekey, said that limited ICU and NICU space remains one of the main challenges in service delivery. According to him, population growth and the high number of referred patients from various regions have continued to increase the need for intensive care.

"The hospital management has already identified the problem and has begun preparing the design for a new building. This building is planned to accommodate intensive care service needs for both adult patients and infants," Andreas said on Monday (12/1/2026).

He explained that, out of around 300 available beds, the ideal ICU capacity should be about 10 percent of the total. However, the current intensive care capacity still falls short of that need.

"Jayapura is no longer what it used to be. The population has grown, emergency cases have increased, but hospital capacity has not expanded in balance," he said.

According to Andreas, the addition of a new building and expanded ICU capacity are expected to reduce patient overcrowding in the Emergency Department. With adequate intensive care services, treatment for critically ill patients can be faster, more focused, and contribute to improved patient safety.

"We are targeting the strengthening of these critical care services as part of a comprehensive improvement of the hospital service system. The hope is to improve patient safety and the quality of healthcare services in Papua," he said. ***
