At the age of 75, the Indonesian Red Cross Society(PMI) of Papua Province ensures not only the focus on blood needs, but is ready to help solve humanitarian problems that occur on the earth.
"At the time of the flash flood disaster in Sentani, we came down to help the victims. Even in the current situation of Covid-19. First, we share the masks to the public and conduct disinfectant spraying in offices and schools.
"This is evidence and a sign that The Indonesian Red Cross Society of Papuais not just focused on blood needs but also on humanitarian problems in Papua, until we get a reward of 3 units of car from Mr. Jusuf Kalla as the Head of the Central Indonesian Red Cross Society," explained the Chairman of the Indonesian Red Cross Papua Province Yolanda Tinal in Jayapura on Thursday, interrupted by the celebration of the anniversary of the humanitarian organization.
According to her, The Indonesian Red Cross Society wants to be close to the community, because the nature of the institution exists for humanitarian needs. In the near future, they want to encourage the Papua Provincial Government to budget for blood donor funding, so that people who take the blood at The Indonesian Red Cross Societyare no longer burdened with a penny.
Because there were reports that if the community needed a bag of blood it could be free. The second is the same, now if he needs more than two then he will be charged a certain amount of money
"Therefore, we will face the Governor and Deputy Governor of Papua to discuss solutions so that in the future the community will not have to pay any more if we need blood," he hoped.
