YAKKUM Hospital is disability friendly, easily accessible, and quick to receive services at our hospital. National Competition for Health Facility Innovation towards Disability Inclusive Indonesia

YAKKUM’s Supports for Disability Inclusive Health Governance in Republic of Indonesia

drg. Kriswidiati conveyed this during the Inclusive Hospital Tour on Friday (6/9) at Panti Wilasa Citarum Hospital, Semarang, which will be followed by a webinar on Health Services towards Disability Inclusive Indonesia the next day.

The tour was intended to provide direct insight into health service practices that have been implemented at one of YAKKUM’s hospital. . YAKKUM hopes that through the webinar it can produce documentation of policy discussions and inclusive service models which will later become an important reference as well as a contribution to the efforts of various parties to achieve inclusive health services by 2030.

The series of activities are part of the culmination of the event, namely the National Competition for Health Facility Innovation towards Disability-Inclusive Indonesia. The competition was initiated with the aim of strengthening and expanding health services that can be accessed by people with and without disabilities throughout Indonesia.

This is a form of YAKKUM’s support to the Indonesian government in the context of implementing the Disability Inclusive Health Governance roadmap prepared by the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia since 2019.

Disability Friendly Hospital

Endah Margya Suksmawati, S.IP., M.M., Head of the Social Rehabilitation Division of the Semarang City Social Service, appreciated the role of YAKKUM’s Panti Wilasa Citarum Hospital in supporting Semarang towards an inclusive city.

“In terms of accessibility and supporting facilities, it is very easy to access, the service human resources are quite friendly and they understand services for people with disabilities.”

Appreciation was also given for the availability of resources in realizing inclusive health services and being able to network in the Semarang city area. For example, 600 KG of rice assistance, organizing training, providing assistive devices given to the Social Affairs Office and it’s distribution.

Some workshops have been facilitated by Panti Wilasa Citarum; we hope that all hospitals owned by YAKKUM will continue to progress towards disability-friendly hospitals and inclusive health services. This includes increasing the quota for the involvement of people with disabilities to work in hospitals.

  • Recomendations

    Some recommendations related to the hospital’s commitment to organizing disability inclusive health services include:

    1. Finding barriers that exist in hospitals in providing inclusive services for disabilities. Including asking inputs from the community to strengthen hospital service.
    2. Strive to eliminate barriers, at least reduce them.
    3. The principle of inclusion does not mean “the same” but “according to needs”, so it provides a different approach to patients with disabilities.
    “The three are reflected on whether they have been well facilitated. Thank you for your attention and invitation to us.”

YAKKUM Hospital Trusted by the Public

For Dr. dr. Mochamad Abdul Hakam, SP.PD., Head of Semarang City Health Office, what Panti Wilasa Citarum YAKKUM Hospital has done in Semarang is a success in branding it as an inclusive and disability-friendly hospital.

“Especially when people with disabilities can access, be picked up by security, assisted from the registration desk, etc.”

The various forms of disability-friendly hospital services are familiar, and the testimonials given by patients are an encouragement that the people of Semarang do not need to worry.

However, in the Special Region of Yogyakarta, the achievement of attention to the issue of disability inclusion health services can be said to be “outstanding.” In addition, it’s necessary to pay attention to the risk of mental health problems, which has the potential to increase during climate change (El Nino)

Access to health services can be fulfilled by YAKKUM. In theory, inclusive health services have worked well. “If you build a hospital, it must have strong branding in inclusive services,” he added.

“YAKKUM’s hospitals have gained the trust of the public. The quality of service must be improved.”

Bringing Access to Health Services Closer

Observing the disability inclusive health services of YAKKUM, Elhamangto Zuhdan, M.K.M Head of Health Services Division of the Central Java Provincial Health Office saw how YAKKUM is trying to bring access to health services closer to the community, especially people with disabilities.

“Access is getting closer. The hospital is very supportive and in line with health services that are friendly to people with disabilities.”

These health services can develop according to the nature of the hospital leadership which influences the process of providing supporting services, convenience for the blind, at certain points providing easy access, crossover services, there are no barriers for all people including people with disabilities to get access, especially services at the hospital.

  • Collaboration

    Continuity in services is still needed. Not only about providing facilities, but also overseeing how the program runs consistently, regularly, centered on the needs of people with disabilities.

    Law 19 states that there are equal rights, but it requires a process. For those who have received it, then be independent, and they can get optimal services. The need for health services for people with disabilities can be utilized optimally in all hospitals in Central Java.

    Regarding hospitals with difficult geography, the Semarang Provincial Health Office uses the strategy of Community Health Centers, Assistant Community Health Centers (Pustu), and Integrated Health Posts whose services are adjusted to the human life cycle as an effort to get closer to the family as the basis of primary health services.

Inclusive Service, Open Service

From the perspective of the Christian Service Fellowship for Health in Indonesia or PELKESI represented by Dr. Daniel Budi Wibowo, M.Kes, as the chairman, conveyed that health services are holistic services, something that unites. Therefore, in order to take away that can be shared with other hospitals, it is to remain faithful in advocating for inclusive health services for its member hospitals.

  • PELKESI Points

    For PERLESI, there are 5 points that need to be improved:

    1. There is a policy from the hospital owner that health services must provide the rights of the disabled group.
    2. The policy is followed by action, providing facilities that can help the same health services for the disabled. The disabled group has the right to equal registration and services.
    3. Qualified human resources.
    4. There are alternative communication facilities, which support health services including sign language skills. PELKESI has conducted training with YAKKUM several times.
    5. Availability of medical devices, both inside and outside the hospital. Each city has disability-friendly transportation facilities, which allow the disabled group to go to the hospital. Collaboration is needed between health facilities, local governments, and public transportation providers. This also includes collaboration between health facilities, local governments, and philanthropic groups that provide facilities.
“Inclusive health services are not exclusive, but open to the entire community. Including philanthropic groups taking part.”

Our approach is the church, we support the church to have accessible facilities for the disabled. Even further, in November we will create tutors for children with special needs so that they can take care of themselves independently.

Hospital Without Walls for the Disabled

The existence of Laws, Regulations in Lieu of Laws, Government Regulations, and others is a general illustration that the government has provided regulations that are a driving force for all parties to ensure the fulfillment of the rights of the disabled. Drg. Farichah Hanum, M.Kes from the Central Java Indonesian Hospital Association (PERSI) said that the accreditation standards have also touched on the rights of patients and families, including those with disabilities.

Although on the one hand, the fulfillment of these patient rights is easy, there are several challenges that still need to be overcome. The fulfillment of the rights of patients and families has been regulated by law. The PERSI Award is a trigger for hospital innovations to be more inclusive. So that the collaborations that are established within the framework of health services to be more inclusive can provide greater trust.

“Fourth, health services that are proactive, hospitals without walls for the disabled, in terms of financing will be more effective and efficient through empowerment for friends with disabilities, that’s amazing!”

Inclusive Is a Process

Starting from the concept of inclusive, if examined in depth is an absorption from a foreign language, inclusive. “An adjective where the disabled become comfortable, accept, and enjoy a pleasant service ecosystem,” explained Jonna Aman Damanik, Commissioner of the National Disability Commission (KND).

Meanwhile, for Jonna when talking about health services, how a hospital becomes comfortable “nice,” will see how all the differences of people served can be facilitated by the hospital.

“Don’t make inclusive a goal, because it’s ‘tiring’, because that’s a trait.”

The key to how a hospital becomes inclusive is to faithfully process to achieve this goal. If an individual becomes inclusive, then the system where the person is located will work inclusively.

Jonna appreciates what YAKKUM has done as a good practice and encourages it to have more similar good practices. Economic initiatives from people with disabilities are extraordinary. The National Disability Commission is discussing initiative documents from the disabled community.

  • Inclusive Principle

    Inclusive Principle:

    1. Reduce stigma. We cannot eliminate stigma but at least eliminate it.
    2. Accessibility. How is the hospital accessible? Providing accessibility is a necessity. What YAKKUM did was an initiative from the community, namely civil society. But don’t forget the state must respond and facilitate. The government is obliged to provide.
    3. Budget collaboration.
    4. Community participation in this case people with disabilities.

    At least with these four (4) points it will facilitate the creation of a comfortable ecosystem for people with disabilities.

“I will bring this good practice to the Ministry of Health, what YAKKUM has done inspires the Ministry of Health’s policy on inclusive health services, good for the roadmap for inclusive health services to be realized in 2045”

Learning from Maluku about Posyandu Prima, the regulation is good but how to inspire it to the household requires our concern. Inclusive is not a goal, but it can be achieved when we are loyal to the process.

The existence of policies and roadmaps for various parties to realize inclusive services is a reminder. That the next effort is monitoring that prioritizes the active role of multiple parties.

Inclusive Churches Training

Inclusive Churches Training

Some of us may have attended an online worship service and there is already an area where there is a Sign Language Interpreter (JBI) who is good at moving his hands as sign language. What makes sign language increasingly popular in church?

YAKKUM as a church-based organization engaged in the field of public health and humanitarianism, in one of the missions of the YAKKUM Strategic Plan 2021-2026 is to organize holistic and inclusive health services. As an effort to strengthen partnerships in strengthening inclusive services, the church as one of YAKKUM Hospital’s partners needs to be embraced to better understand disability issues and inclusion strategies.

One of the series of Inclusive Church Training conducted by YAKKUM was held at the GKJ Synod on Tuesday-Wednesday, February 6-7, 2024.

The Church of Inclusion

Disability theology is a new branch of theology. This theology became widespread at the beginning of the 21st century and has grown rapidly until now. Disability theology is a way of theologizing from the perspective of disability. It dismantles ordinary theology that often uses standards of normality and perfection by re-reading traditional church teachings and dogmas and developing Christology, creation theology, soteriology, body spirituality, eschatology, ecclesiology from the perspective of disability (Theology of Disability, Research and Development Department of GKI SW Central Java, 2023).

Ecumenical Disability Advocates Network

The World Council of Churches at its 8th session in Harare, Zimbabwe decided to establish EDAN (Ecumenical Disability Advocates Network) because it realized the importance of the existence of an ecumenical network to focus on disability issues; EDAN together with YAKKUM agreed to follow up on the findings of the Baseline Study on Best Practices in terms of Disability Inclusion in Church Life.

The Baseline study which was held in several countries showed a gap in the lack of knowledge of church officials and congregations regarding disability even though on the one hand most church respondents saw the importance of the issue being considered by the church. Therefore, YAKKUM organized an inclusive church training.

Teologi of Disability

The training was designed to study and use the theology of disability compiled by theologians and academics in the Coaching and Cadre Institution (LPP) network of the Javanese Christian Churches (GKJ) Synod and Indonesia Christian Churches (GKI) SW Central Java, YAKKUM’s empirical experience through disability rehabilitation and inclusion services in hospitals, education units and public health and humanitarian service units together with various disability organization networks.

Through this Inclusive Church Training YAKKUM strives to:

  1. Provide awareness and basic knowledge about disability inclusion in the church to the target participants.
  2. Share information about and build networks with communities of people with disabilities in areas where churches want to develop inclusion services.
  3. Meaningful involvement of people with disabilities in church and community life.

General Assembly Act Alliance

YAKKUM Jadi Penylenggara General Assembly ACT Alliance 2024 di Yogyakarta

General Assembly and Yogyakarta

The 4th General Assembly of ACT Alliance (Action by Churches Together) will be held in Yogyakarta on October 28 – November 1, 2024. Related to the event, on Monday (18/03), the Board of Christian Foundation for Public Health (YAKKUM), Rev. Simon Julianto, met with the Governor of Yogyakarta, Sri Sultan Hamengkubuwono X at Gedhong Wilis, Kepatihan Complex, Yogyakarta. The meeting with Ngarso Dalem (the way to address the Sultan) was to request direction and advice for the preparation of the event as well as to confirm his presence in the Opening and Welcoming Dinner.

Reporting from jogjaprov.go.id, Rev. Simon conveyed Sri Sultan’s message to showcase the local aspects of Yogyakarta in the ACT Alliance General Assembly. “We were asked to show the uniqueness of Jogja, because local aspects are also important to show, so that they can get to know more about Jogja,” he said.

This General Assembly was inspired by the philosophy of angkringan (a small food stall on the side of the road, where many people usually gather and discuss something other than eating), the good practices of interfaith cooperation in Yogyakarta and the independence of local churches in Indonesia to continue humanitarian services in the transition to post-colonial independence. This is also the reason why Yogyakarta was chosen as the venue for the General Assembly of ACT Alliance in Asia.

Hope in Action: Together for Justice

This year’s ACT Alliance General Assembly is themed “Hope in Action – Together for Justice” and will be held for 5 days, October 28 – November 1, 2024 at the Royal Ambarrukmo Hotel and preceded by a 2-day Youth General Assembly, October 26 – 27, 2024.

It is hoped that the 4th General Assembly will become a monumental global event for leaders, practitioners, field workers from around the world to discuss and collaborate as a joint effort to strengthen justice and solidarity in humanity. At least 400 delegates from 127 countries will attend the 2024 General Assembly.

ACT Alliance is an alliance of 150 church-based humanitarian and development service organizations in 127 countries (actalliance.org). ACT Alliance was established by the World Council of Churches in 2010 for humanitarian affairs, development and advocacy.

As stated by the Chairman of the YAKKUM Board when meeting the Governor of Yogyakarta, the focus of the General Assembly activities will be humanitarian assistance, climate change, and peace and security to support local communities. In addition, religious activities will also be held at the Gondokusuman cultural heritage church. “Later there will also be a religious event centered on the cultural heritage church. There will be various traditions such as gamelan and rituals that are very close to the traditions of Jogja which are packaged with good worship,” said Simon.

Representing YAKKUM, which was chosen as the organizer of the ACT Alliance General Assembly, Rev. Simon said that his organization has made preparations starting from the formation of the committee to meetings with several related parties. He added, “Then we are now also in the process of fundraising and hopefully the implementation can run smoothly.”

Some time earlier, YAKKUM and ACT Alliance also held a meeting at the YAKKUM Head Office to discuss the preparation of the General Assembly. The meeting was attended by (left-right) Arshinta (YAKKUM), Minnie Anne Mata-Calub (ACT Governing Board), Rev. Simon (YAKKUM), Peni (YAKKUM), Rita (YAKKUM), Rudelmar Bueno de Faria (ACT Secretary General), along with AAC (Assembly Advisory Committee) Odongo, Patricia Mungcal, Charlotte Belot.

YAKKUM Attends National Conference on Women 2024 with DIGNITY Program

YAKKUM Attends National Conference on Women 2024 with DIGNITY Program

National Conference on Women and Inclusive Society

The Ministry of Women’s Empowerment and Child Protection (P3A) with its partners held the 2024 Women’s National Conference (Munas) in Badung, Bali with the theme “Women for Mother Earth”. YAKKUM was present there as one of the many partners in national development, especially towards an inclusive society.

The YAKKUM Rehabilitation Centre (PRY), which was asked to carry out the Disability Inclusion Through Strengthening Local to National Policy and capacity (DIGNITY) program, was present at the National Conference along with its partner from West Nusa Tenggara, Lombok Independent Disability Indonesia (LIDI NTB).

Self-Development for the Rights of Persons with Disabilities

According to Karina, a person with psychosocial disabilities from LIDI NTB said that she felt inspired by the enthusiasm of the other women. Although she has just become the treasurer of the Swabantu Group in her village, Karina wants to continue to develop herself and fight for the rights of persons with disabilities.

In line with that, Wisnu, as the person in charge of the DIGNITY Program in NTB, emphasized the importance of activities such as this Women’s National Conference because it can increase the confidence of people with psychosocial disabilities who often experience discrimination and stigma.

DIGNITY

The DIGNITY or Disability Inclusion Through Strengthening Local to National Policy and Capacity program carried out by PRY is an Australia-Indonesia collaboration that focuses on psychosocial issues, access to employment and entrepreneurship and political participation of people with disabilities. This program is implemented by PRY in seven (7) provinces namely North Sumatra, Central Java, Banten, NTT, NTB, West Sulawesi and Southwest Papua by cooperating with eight (8) local partners and ministries.

A Moment of Meaningful Participation

Minister of of Women’s Empowerment and Child Protection of the Republic of Indonesia, Bintang Puspayoga emphasized the importance of increasing the role of women in government, empowering women in a sustainable manner, and stopping violence against women and children, including women with disabilities from all elements. “National Conference 2024 is an important moment for Indonesian women to unite and strengthen their voices”. Here, the Minister of P3A also delivered 9 national agendas for women, disabilities, and other marginalized groups to women’s representatives from all over Indonesia.

This event is an important moment to realize meaningful participation from Indonesian women. The results of the 2024 Women’s National Conference will be handed over as input for RPJMN, Renstra and regional planning documents.

The two (2) day event from Friday – Saturday (19-20/4/24) at Balai Budaya Giri Nata Mandala, Badung Government Centre, Bali was attended by 1500 participants from 263 districts and 35 provinces.

Women for Mother Earth realize development plans that are equal and inclusive.

Inclusive Hospital Tour Dan Webinar Layanan Kesehatan Menuju Indonesia Inklusif Disabilitas

, , , , , , ,

RS YAKKUM ramah pada disabilitas, mudah diakses, lebih cepat menerima layanan di rumah sakit kami. Lomba Nasional Inovasi Fasilitas Kesehatan Menuju Indonesia yang Inklusif Disabilitas

Dukungan YAKKUM Pada Tata Kelola Kesehatan Inklusif Disabilitas RI

drg. Kris menyampaikan hal tersebut dalam Inclusive Hospital Tour pada Jumat (6/9) di RS. Panti Wilasa Citarum, Semarang yang keesokan harinya akan dilanjutkan dengan webinar Layanan Kesehatan Menuju Indonesia Inklusif Disabilitas.

Selain memberikan wawasan langsung mengenai praktik-praktik pelayanan kesehatan inklusif yang telah diterapkan di salah satu rumah sakit YAKKUM di Semarang dalam inclusive hospital tour. YAKKUM berharap melalui webinar dapat menghasilkan dokumentasi dari diskusi kebijakan dan model-model layanan inklusi  yang nantinya dapat menjadi referensi penting sekaligus kontribusi bagi upaya berbagai pihak untuk mencapai layanan kesehatan inklusif pada tahun 2030.

Serangkaian kegiatan tersebut merupakan merupakan bagian dari puncak dari acara yaitu Lomba Nasional Inovasi Fasilitas Kesehatan Menuju Indonesia yang Inklusif Disabilitas. Lomba tersebut digagas dengan tujuan memperkuat dan memperluas layanan kesehatan yang dapat diakses oleh disabilitas maupun tanpa disabilitas di seluruh Indonesia. 

Inilah bentuk dukungan YAKKUM pada pemerintah RI dalam rangka implementasi peta jalan Tata Kelola Kesehatan Inklusif Disabilitas yang disusun oleh Kementerian Kesehatan Republik Indonesia sejak tahun 2019.

RS Ramah Difabel

Melihat paparan dan tayangan YAKKUM mengenai pelayanan kesehatan inkusif disabilitas, Endah Margya Suksmawati, S.IP., M.M., Kepala Bidang Rehabilitasi Sosial Dinas Sosial Kota Semarang mengapresiasi peran RS Panti Wilasa Citarum YAKKUM mendukung Semarang menuju kota inklusif.

“Secara aksesibilitas dan fasilitas penunjang sangat mudah diakses, SDM pelayanannya sudah cukup ramah dan mereka paham pelayanan terhadap penyandang disabilitas.”

Apresiasi juga diberikan atas ketersediaan sumber daya dalam mewujudkan pelayanan kesehatan yang inklusi dan mampu berjejaring di wilayah kota semarang. Misalnya bantuan beras 600 kg, menyelenggarakan pelatihan, pemberian alat bantu diberikan ke Dinsos dan penyalurannya.

Beberapa “WS” sudah difasilitasi oleh Panti Wilasa Citarum, kami berharap semua RS milik YAKKUM tetap maju menuju RS ramah difabel dan pelayanan kesehatan inklusif. Termasuk menambah kuota keterlibatan penyandang disabilitas untuk bekerja di RS.

  • Rekomendasi

    Beberapa rekomendasi terkait komitmen RS menyelenggarakan pelayanan kesehatan inklusi disabilitas antara lain:

    1. Menemukan hambatan yang ada di RS dalam memberikan layanan inklusif untuk disabilitas. Termasuk menemukan masukan dari masyarakat untuk membangun branding RS.
    2. Mengupayakan eliminasi hambatan, setidaknya dikurangi.
    3. Prinsip inklusif itu bukan berarti “sama” namun “sesuai kebutuhan”, maka memberikan pendekatan yang berbeda pada pasien disabilitas.

    “Ketiganya itu direfleksikan apakah sudah terfasilitasi dengan baik. Terima Kasih atas atensi dan undangan untuk kami.”

RS YAKKUM Dipercaya Publik

Bagi Dr. dr. Mochamad Abdul Hakam, Sp.PD., Kepala Dinas Kesehatan Kota Semarang, apa yang  dilakukan RS Panti Wilasa YAKKUM di semarang merupakan keberhasilan dalam mem-branding sebagai RS inklusif dan ramah pada disabilitas.

“Terutama pada saat teman-teman difabel bisa akses, dijemput oleh security, dibantu dari meja pendaftaran, dll.”

Ragam bentuk pelayanan RS ramah disabilitas dirasa sudah familiar, testimoni yang diberikan oleh pasien menjadi suatu kebangaan bahwa masyarakat kota Semarang tidak perlu khawatir.

Namun demikian di DIY, capaian dari perhatian atas isu pelayanan kesehatan inklusi disabilitas dapat dikatakan “keren.” Ditambah lagi perlu memperhatikan risiko penyandang kesehatan mental yang berpotensi meningkat saat terjadi perubahan iklim (el nino).

Akses pelayanan kesehatan mampu dipenuhi oleh YAKKUM. Secara teori bahwa layanan kesehatan inklusif sudah berjalan dengan baik. “Jika membangun rumah sakit memang harus kuat brandingnya di layanan yang inklusif,” tambahnya.

“RS milik YAKKUM sudah mendapatkan kepercayaan dari publik. Kualitas layanan harus ditingkatkan.”

Dekatkan Akses Layanan Kesehatan

Mencermati pelayanan kesehatan inklusi disabilitas YAKKUM, Elhamangto Zuhdan, M.K.M Kepala Bidang Pelayanan Kesehatan Dinas Kesehatan Provinsi Jawa Tengah melihat bagaimana YAKKUM berupaya mendekatkan akses layanan kesehatan bagi masyarakat khususnya penyandang disabilitas.

“Akses itu semakin didekatkan. RS sudah sangat support dan sejalan dengan layan kesehatan yang ramah pada penyandang disabilitas.”

Pelayanan kesehatan tersebut tersebut dapat berkembang sesuai sifat kepemimpinan RS yang berpengaruh pada proses penyediaan layanan pendukung, kemudahan bagi penyandang netra, di titik-titik tertentu menyediakan akses yang memudahkan, layanan crossover, tidak ada penghalang bagi semua masyarakat termasuk penyandang disabilitas untuk mendapatkan akses, khususnya pelayanan di RS.

  • Kolaborasi

    Masih diperlukan kesinambungan dalam layanan. Tidak hanya soal menyediakan fasilitas, tetapi juga mengawal bagaimana program berjalan secara konsisten, regular, bersentra pada kebutuhan penyandang disabilitas.

    UU 19 mengatakan ada kesamaan hak, namun memerlukan proses. Bagi yang sudah mendapatkan, lalu mandiri, dan mereka bisa mendapatkan pelayanan yang optimal. Kebutuhan pelayanan kesehatan bagi masyarakat dengan disabilitas bisa dimanfaatkan secara optimal di semua RS di Jawa Tengah.

    Mengenai RS dengan geografis yang sulit, Dinkes Prov. Semarang menggunakan strategi Puskesmas, Puskesmas pembantu (Pustu), dan Posyandu yang pelayanan-nya disesuaikan dengan siklus hidup manusia sebagai upaya mendekatkan diri kepada keluarga sebagai dasar dari pelayanan kesehatan primer.

Pelayanan Inklusif, Pelayanan Terbuka

Dari kacamata Persekutuan Pelayanan Kristen Untuk Kesehatan Di Indonesia atau PELKESI yang diwakili oleh dr. Daniel Budi Wibowo, M.Kes, selaku ketua, menyampaikan bahwa pelayanan kesehatan adalah pelayanan yang holistik, sesuatu yang mengutuhkan. Oleh sebab itu dalam rangka  take-away yang dapat dibagikan pada RS lainnya adalah tetap setia melakukan advokasi pelayanan kesehatan inklusif untuk RS anggotanya.

  • 5 Poin PELKESI

    Bagi PERLESI terdapat 5 point yang perlu ditingkatkan:

    1. Adanya kebijakan pemilik RS bahwa pelayanan kesehatan harus memberikan hak-hak kelompok disabilitas.
    2. Kebijakan diikuti dengan action, menyediakan fasilitas yang mampu membantu pelkes yang sama untuk disabilitas. Kelompok disabilitas berhak pendaftaran dan pelayanan yang setara.
    3. SDM yang mumpuni.
    4. Ada sarana komunikasi alternatif, yang menunjang pelayanan kesehatan termasuk kemampuan berbahasa isyarat. PELKESI beberapa kali melakukan pelatihan bersama YAKKUM.
    5. Ketersediaan alat kesehatan, baik di dalam RS maupun di luar RS. Setiap kota punya sarana transportasi ramah disabilitas, yang memungkinkan kelompok disabilitas menuju rumah sakit. Diperlukan kolaborasi antara fasilitas kesehatan, pemerintah daerah, dan kelompok penyedia transportasi umum. Termasuk juga kolaborasi antara Faskes, Pemda, dan kelompok filantropis yang menyediakan sarana.
Pelayanan kesehatan inklusif bukan suatu yang eksklusif, tapi terbuka bagi seluruh masyarakat. Termasuk kelompok filantropis mengambil peran. 

Pendekatan kami adalah gereja, kami mendukung gereja agar punya sarana yang aksesibel bagi disabilitas. Bahkan lebih lanjut lagi, bulan November nanti kita akan membuat tutor untuk anak berkebutuhan khusus agar mampu merawat dirinya secara mandiri.

Hospital Without Wall Untuk Kaum Disabilitas

Adanya UU, Perpu, PP, dan lain-lain merupakan gambaran umum bahwa pemerintah sudah menyediakan regulasi yang menjadi pendorong bagi semua pihak agar menjamin terpenuhinya hak disabilitas. Drg. Farichah Hanum, M.Kes dari Perhimpunan Rumah Sakit Seluruh Indonesia (PERSI) Jawa Tengah menyampaikan bahwa dalam standar akreditasi pun sudah menyinggung hak pasien dan keluarga, termasuk untuk yang disabilitas.

Walaupun di satu sisi, pemenuhan terhadap hak pasien ini menjadi mudah tetapi ada beberapa tantangan yang masih harus diatasi. Pemenuhan terhadap hak pasien dan keluarga sudah diatur oleh perundang undangan. PERSI Award adalah pemantik inovasi-inovasi RS untuk semakin inklusif. Sehingga kerjasama-kerjasama yang terjalin dalam kerangka pelayanan kesehatan untuk semakin inklusif dapat memberikan trust yang lebih besar.

“Keempat, pelkes yang jemput bola, hospital without wall untuk kaum disabilitas, secara pembiayaan akan lebih efektif dan efisien melalui pemberdayaan bagi kawan-kawan disabilitas, itu luar biasa!”.

Inklusif Adalah Proses

Berangkat dari konsep inklusif, jika ditelaah secara mendalam adalah serapan dari bahasa asing, inclusive. “Sebuah kata sifat dimana disabilitas menjadi nyaman, menerima, dan menikmati ekosistem layanan yang enak,” uraian dari Jonna Aman Damanik, Komisioner Komisi Nasional Disabilitas (KND).

Sedangkan bagi Jonna ketika berbicara tentang layanan kesehatan,  bagaimana sebuah RS menjadi nyaman “enak,” akan melihat bagaimana semua perbedaan orang yang dilayani dapat difasilitasi RS.

“Jangan menjadikan inklusif sebagai tujuan, karena ‘capek’, karena itu sifat.” 

Kunci dari bagaimana RS menjadi inklusif adalah setia berproses untuk mencapai tujuan ini. Apabila seorang individu menjadi inklusif, maka sistem dimana orang tersebut berada akan bekerja dengan inklusif.

Jonna mengapresiasi yang dilakukan YAKKUM merupakan praktik baik dan mendorongnya agar makin banyak praktik baik yang serupa. Inisiatif ekonomi dari penyandang disabilitas, luar biasa. Komnas Disabilitas sedang membahas dokumen-dokumen inisiatif dari masyarakat disabilitas.

  • Asas Inklusif

    Asas Inklusif:

    1. Reduksi stigma. Kita tidak bisa menghilangkan stigma tapi setidaknya mengeliminir.
    2. Aksesibilitas. Bagaimana RS aksesibilitas? Menyediakan aksesibilitas adalah kebutuhan. Apa yang dilakukan oleh YAKKUM itu menjadi inisiatif dari masyarakat, yaitu masyarakat sipil. Tetapi jangan lupa Negara harus respond an memfasilitasi. Pemerintah wajib menyediakan.
    3. Kolaborasi anggaran.
    4. Partisipasi masyarakat dalam hal ini penyandang disabilitas.

    Setidaknya dengan empat (4) poin tersebut akan memudahkan terciptanya ekosistem yang nyaman bagi penyandang disabilitas.

“Saya akan bawa praktek baik ini ke Kemenkes, apa yang dilakukan YAKKUM ini menginspirasi kebijakan kementerian kesehatan tentang pelayanan kesehatan yang inklusif, bagus untuk peta jalan pelayanan kesehatan inklusif akan diwujudkan 2045”

Belajar dari Maluku mengenai Posyandu prima, regulasi sudah baik tetapi bagaimana menginspirasi sampai ke household me-merlukan concern kita. Inklusif bukan tujuan, tapi bisa tercapai ketika kita setia pada proses.

Adanya kebijakan hingga peta jalan bagi berbagai pihak untuk mewujudkan layanan yang inklusif menjadi pengingat. Bahwa upaya selanjutnya adalah monitoring yang mengedepankan peran aktif multi pihak.

National Consultation on Church and Disability: Building an Inclusive Fellowship and Serving Together as God’s Co-Workers

, , , , , , ,

Thanks to YAKKUM, always at the forefront of public Welcome Speech of the Chairman of PGI IX

“Thank you  to YAKKUM, as “a biological child” of the Javanese Christian Churches, as it is always at the forefront of health and humanitarian services.” This was conveyed by Rev. Gomar Gultom, the Chairman of the Communion of Churches in Indonesia (Chairman of PGI) at the opening of the National Consultation on Churches and Disabilities: Building an Inclusive Fellowship and Serving Together as God’s Co-Workers on June 12-16, 2024 at Arjuna Hotel Yogyakarta.

The Fellowship of Churches in Indonesia (PGI) together with the Christian Foundation for Public Health (YAKKUM) as the host of the event, together with the PGI Men’s Communication Forum (FKPKB) and the National Commission on Disability (KND) initiated the event. The 3-day event was attended by at least 75 PGI member church leaders, 3 government agencies, and 30 Synods, and PGI partner institutions.

YAKKUM and Disability Inclusion

YAKKUM has rarely appeared in PGI forums, not because it is positioned as an outsider. In fact, in YAKKUM’s work meeting reports before the Foundation Law, almost every formal coordination always had the PGI present to provide direction. It is a joy to have the task of being the hostess because it illustrates that YAKKUM is part of the PGI.

“Moreover, what is currently being promoted in the current Konas is an integral part of our mandate, namely to bring diaconal services to be inclusive. If it is inclusive, it must bring all forms of service to be aware of disability. Many of our programs are geared towards disability. We have many memberships in that field, and we want to expand by involving our parent churches.” Said Rev. Simon Julianto, Chairman of the YAKKUM Board.

YAKKUM is already building an “inclusive church” with local churches. The hope is that in the future, through the conference, all churches in Indonesia will also become inclusive.

Real Action

On the other hand, the National Commission on Disability (KND) represented by Jonna Aman Damanik said, “since 2002 I have made small practices in churches. I do disability mainstreaming work in the region. Disability inclusion is a trait, to make everyone comfortable, to make everyone participate.”

There is a sense of equality, justice that is evident from the theme of the National Conference of Churches with Disabilities. “I had a small discussion with Rev. Helen. The tough challenges of the church in the future must start with real action.” Jonna said. It is hoped that the National Conference can produce communiqués or joint agreements that can later be brought to the PGI General Assembly.

Networking to Realize Disability Friendly Church

Sri Sultan Hamengkubuwana X, Governor of the Special Region of Yogyakarta, represented by Dr. Sukamto, S.H, M.H. as Expert Staff of the Governor of Special of Yogyakarta said that persons with disabilities have the same rights to obtain and enjoy facilities in carrying out worship in the Church. The church as a social institution plays an important role in shaping society’s view of various groups and individuals. The church must also be an agent of change in forming an inclusive, friendly community and reducing stigma against people with disabilities.

“Through the application of the values of love, justice and openness, the church needs to create an environment that supports and respects human diversity including people with disabilities. So that the Church is able to become an agent of positive change, shaping a world where every individual is accepted and valued, regardless of their physical or mental condition.” said Dr. Sukamto.

Being an inclusive church means realizing a church that is increasingly embracing and open to the involvement of many parties. This includes providing disability-friendly facilities, medical and social support. Ensuring that people with disabilities are recognized, valued as an integral part of the church community. The church is responsible for ensuring that all members of the congregation, including those with disabilities, can fully participate in church life.

The Special Region of Yogyakarta Regional Government through Regional Regulation No. 5 of 2022 concerning the implementation of respect, protection and fulfillment of the rights of persons with disabilities, strives to realize the fulfillment of the rights of persons with disabilities. “Let us collaborate to develop networks to realize a disability-friendly church,” Dr. Sukamto said in his speech.

Mainstreaming Disability Issues

The Conference on Churches and Disability is intended as a forum for churches and PGI’s partner organizations working on disability issues in Indonesia. In the course of the movement there is a process of reflection and sharing experiences in the disability-friendly movement, as well as fighting for their rights.

The church is invited to become an oasis for others and especially for our brothers and sisters with disabilities. The church and partners have a joint commitment and action plan to develop various efforts to mainstream disability inclusion that are more progressive and sustainable.

The PGI has seen more than a decade of conversations and activities developed in order to mainstream disability. Even in line with that, the government issued Law No. 8/2016 on disability which stipulates, “The right to public services for persons with disabilities.”

However, mainstreaming disability issues in church services remains a dream because access for persons with disabilities in services has not been well implemented. This reality is portrayed and becomes the background of the National Conference. In and through this Conference, we will discuss the unfortunate conditions for our brothers and sisters.

Big Implications

With the theme, “Building Inclusive Fellowship and Serving Together as God’s Co-Workers” there are major implications to be achieved, namely a paradigm shift in viewing people with disabilities as subjects, not as objects in the church’s pastoral agenda.

As God’s co-workers, 1 Cor 3:9, Paul identifies himself, we are inviting and facilitating people with disabilities to become co-workers. People with disabilities may have limitations in certain aspects.

“This should not be a barrier for the church to involve them in church services. Isn’t Christ always solidary and siding with those who are weak in such a way?” said Rev. Gomar.

That the church pays attention to this aspect of humanity is the call of the church that cannot be ignored in imitating what Jesus Christ did. Not rejecting those with disabilities, but instead Jesus reached out and embraced them in the loving embrace of a father. Jesus made himself available to be embraced by anyone. Rev. Gomar said, “with variations on what is said in Matthew 25, we hear the Son of Man saying: ‘When I was helpless because of my disability you strengthened me’.”

The IX PGI’s Chairman said, “I hope that through this Conference we can all exchange ideas in an effort to build a shared commitment to humanity and equality.

Konsultasi Nasional Gereja dan Disabilitas: Membangun Persekutuan Yang Inklusi dan Melayani Bersama Sebagai Kawan Sekerja Allah

, , , , , , , ,

Terimakasih pada YAKKUM, Selalu Ada Terdepan Sambutan Ketum PGI IX

“Terimakasih kepada YAKKUM, sebagai anak kandung GKJ ini akan selalu ada terdepan dalam pelayanan kesehatan dan kemanusiaan.” Hal ini di sampaikan Pdt. Gomar Gultom, Ketua Umum Persekutuan Gereja-gereja di Indonesia (Ketum PGI) dalam pembukaan Konsultasi Nasional Gereja dan Disabilitas: Membangun Persekutuan Yang Inklusi dan Melayani Bersama Sebagai Kawan Sekerja Allah. 12-16 Juni 2024 di Hotel Arjuna Yogyakarta.

PGI bersama Yayasan Kristen untuk Kesehatan Umum (YAKKUM) sebagai tuan-nyonya rumah kegiatan, bersama Forum Komunikasi Pria Kaum Bapak (FKPKB) PGI dan Komisi Nasional Disabilitas (KND) menginisiasi terselenggaranya acara tersebut. Acara selama 3 hari tersebut dihadiri setidaknya oleh 75 pemimpin gereja anggota PGI, 3 lembaga pemerintahan, dan 30 Sinode, dan lembaga-lembaga mitra PGI.

YAKKUM dan Inklusif Disabilitas

Selama ini YAKKUM jarang muncul dalam forum PGI, bukan karena diposisikan sebagai pihak luar. Justru dalam laporan rapat kerja YAKKUM sebelum undang-undang Yayasan, hampir disetiap koordinasi formal selalu ada PGI yang hadir untuk memberikan arahan. Menjadi suka cita mendapatkan tugas menjadi tuan-nyonya rumah karena hal tersebut menggambarkan YAKKUM bagian dari PGI.

“Terlebih dari itu, saat ini yang diusung dalam Konas saat ini adalah bagian yang terpisahkan dari mandat kami yaitu membawa agar pelayanan diakonia bersifat inklusi. Jika bersifat inklusi harus membawa semua bentuk pelayanan menjadi sadar akan disabilitas.

Banyak program-program kami yang diarahkan pada kaitannya dengan disabilitas. Kami punya banyak keanggotan pada bidang itu, dan kami ingin memperluas dengan melibatkan gereja-gereja yang menjadi induk kami.” Ujar Pdt. Simon Julianto, Ketua Pengurus YAKKUM.

YAKKUM sudah membangun “Gereja yang inklusi” bersama gereja-gereja lokal. Harapan di masa mendatang, melalui konas tersebut semua gereja-gereja di Indonesia juga menjadi inklusif.

Aksi Nyata

Di sisi lain, Komisi Nasional Disabilitas (KND) yang diwakili oleh Jonna Aman Damanik menyampaikan bawa, “sudah sejak itu tahun 2002 saya membuat praktik-praktik kecil di gereja-gereja. Saya melakukan kerja-kerja pengarus-utamaan disabilitas di wilayah.” Inklusi disabilitas adalah sebuah sifat, untuk membuat semua orang nyaman, membuat semua orang berpartisipasi.

Terdapat makna kesetaraan, keadilan yang tampak dari tema Konas Gereja Disabilitas. “Tadi saya diskusi kecil dengan Pdt. Helen. Tantangan berat gereja ke depan harus dimulai dengan aksi aksi nyata.” Ujar Jonna. Harapannya melalui Konas dapat menghasilkan komunike atau kesepakatan bersama yang nantinya dapat dibawa ke sidang raya PGI.

Jejaring Wujudkan Gereja Ramah Disabilitas

Sri Sultan Hamengkubuwana X, Gubernur DI Yogyakarta (DIY), diwakili Dr. Sukamto, S.H, M.H selaku Staf Ahli Gubernur DIY menyampaikan bahwa penyandang disabilitas memiliki hak yang sama untuk memperoleh dan menikmati kemudahan fasilitas dalam melaksanakan peribadatan di Gereja. Gereja sebagai institusi sosial memainkan peran penting dalam membentuk pandangan masyarakat terhadap berbagai kelompok dan individu. Gereja juga harus dapat menjadi agen perubahan dalam membentuk komunitas inklusif, ramah dan mengurangi stigma terhadap difabel.

“Melalui penerapan nilai-nilai kasih, keadilan dan keterbukaan, gereja perlu menciptakan lingkungan yang mendukung dan menghargai keragaman manusia termasuk penyandang disabilitas. Sehingga Gereja mampu menjadi agen perubahan yang positif, membentuk dunia di mana setiap individu diterima dan dihargai, tanpa memandang kondisi fisik atau mentalnya.” kata Dr. Sukamto.

Menjadi gereja inklusif berarti mewujudkan gereja yang makin merengkuh dan terbuka pada keterlibatan banyak pihak. Mencakup penyediaan fasilitas ramah disabilitas, dukungan medis, dan sosial. Memastikan bahwa difabel diakui, dihargai sebagai bagian integral dari komunitas gereja. Gereja bertanggung jawab memastikan semua anggota jemaat, termasuk difabel, dapat berpartisipasi penuh dalam kehidupan gereja.

Pemda DIY melalui Perda No. 5 tahun 2022 tentang pelaksanaan penghromatan, perlindungan dan pemenuhan hak-hak penyandang disabilitas, berusaha mewujudkan pemenuhan hak-hak penyandnag disabilitas. “Mari kita kolaborasi untuk mengembangkan jejaring demi mewujdukan gereja yang ramah disabilitas,” tutup Dr. Sukamto dalam sambutannya.

Pengarus Utamaan Isu Disabilitas

Konas Gereja dan Disabilitas ini  dimaksudkan sebagai wadah bagi gereja-gereja dan lembaga-lembaga mitra PGI yang bergerak untuk isu disabilitas di Indonesia. Dalam perjalanan gerak terdapat proses refleksi dan berbagi pengalaman dalam gerakan ramah disabilitas, serta memperjuangkan hak-haknya.

Gereja diajak untuk menjadi Oase bagi sesama dan khususnya bagi saudara kita penyandang disabilitas. Gereja dengan mitra memiliki komitmen dan rencana aksi bersama untuk mengembangkan beragam upaya pengarus utamaan inklusi disabiliytas yang lebih progresif dan berkelanjutan.

PGI melihat lebih dari satu dasawarsa percakapan dan kegiatan dikembangkan dalam rangka main-streaming disabilitas. Bahkan sejalan dengan itu Pemerintah menerbitkan UU no 8/2016 tentang disabilitas yang mengamantkan, “Hak pelayanan publik untuk Penyandang Disabilitas.”

Namun pengarus-utamaan isu disabilitas dalam pelayanan gereja tetap menjadi impian karena akses bagi penyandang disabilitas dalam pelayanan belum terimplementasi baik. Realitas tersebut dipotret dan menjadi latarbelakang Konas. Di dalam dan melalui Konas ini, kita akan banyak menggumuli keadaan yang kurang menguntungkan bagi saudara-saudara kita

Implikasi Besar

Mengusung teman, “Membangun Persekutuan yang Inklusi dan Melayani Bersama sebagai Kawan Sekerja Allah” ada implikasi besar yang ingin dicapai, yaitu perubahan paradigma dalam memandang penyandang disabilitas sebagai subjek, bukan sebagai objek dalam agenda pastoral gereja.

Sebagai kawan sekerja Allah, 1 Kor 3:9, Paulus mengidentifikasikan dirinya, kita sedang mengajak dan memfasilitasi para penyandang disabilitas menjadi kawan sekerja.

Penyandang disabilitas mungkin memiliki keterbatasan pada aspek tertentu.

“Hal itu mestinya tidak dijadikan penghalang bagi gereja untuk melibatkan mereka dalam pelayaan gereja. Bukankah Kristus senantiasa solider dan berpihak kepada mereka yang lemah sedemikian?, tegas Pdt. Gomar.

Bahwa gereja memberi perhatian terhadap aspek kemanusiaan ini adalah panggilan gereja yang tidak bisa diabaikan dalam meneladani apa yang dilakukan Yesus Kristus. Tidak menolak mereka yang disabilitas, tetapi sebaliknya Yesus meraih dan merangkul mereka dalam dekapan kasih seorang Bapak. Yesus menyediakan diri untuk dapat direngkuh oleh siapa saja. Pdt. Gomar  mengatakan, “dengan variasi terhadap apa yang dikatakan dalam Matius 25, kita mendengarkan Sang Anak Manusia itu bersabda: ‘Ketika Aku tidak berdaya karena menyandang disabilitas kamu meneguhkan Aku’.”

Ketum PGI IX itu menyampaikan, “Saya berharap, melalui Konas ini kita semua bisa saling bertukar pikiran dalam upaya membangun komitmen bersama bagi kemanusiaan dan kesetaraan.”

General Assembly Act Alliance

YAKKUM Jadi Penylenggara General Assembly ACT Alliance 2024 di Yogyakarta

General Assembly dan Yogyakarta

General Assembly ke-4 ACT Alliance (Action by Churches Together) akan dilaksanakan di Yogyakarta pada 28 Oktober – 1 November 2024. Terkait pelaksanaan acara tersebut, pada Senin (18/03), Pengurus Yayasan Kristen Untuk Kesehatan Umum (YAKKUM) Pdt. Simon Julianto, bertemu dengan Gubernur DIY, Sri Sultan Hamengkubuwono X di Gedhong Wilis, Kompleks Kepatihan, Yogyakarta. Pertemuan dengan Ngarso Dalem tersebut untuk mohon arahan persiapan penyelenggaraan sekaligus mengkonfirmasi kehadiran beliau dalam Opening and Welcoming with Cultural Dinner.

Dilansir dari jogjaprov.go.id, Pdt. Simon menyampaikan pesan Sri Sultan untuk menampilkan aspek lokal Yogyakarta dalam General Assembly ACT Alliance. “Kami diminta agar dapat menampilkan kekhasan Jogja, karena aspek lokal juga penting untuk tampilkan, agar mereka dapat mengenal lebih dalam lagi tentang Jogja,” ungkapnya.

General Assembly kali ini mengusung inspirasi dari filosofi angkringan, praktik baik kerja sama lintas iman di Yogyakarta dan kemandirian gereja-gereja lokal di Indonesia untuk melanjutkan layanan kemanusiaan dalam transisi kemerdekaan pasca kolonial. Hal ini pula yang melandasi alasan pemilihan Yogyakarta sebagai tempat pertemuan General Assembly ACT Alliance di Kawasan Asia.

Hope in Action: Together for Justice

General Assembly ACT Alliance tahun ini mengambil tema “Hope in Action – Together for Justice” dan akan dilaksanakan selama 5 hari, yaitu 28 Oktober – 1 November 2024 di Hotel Royal Ambarrukmo dan didahului dengan Youth General Assembly selama 2 hari, yaitu 26 – 27 Oktober 2024.

Diharapkan General Assembly ke-4 ini menjadi acara global monumental bagi para pemimpin, praktisi, pekarya lapangan dari berbagai belahan dunia untuk berdiskusi dan berkolaborasi sebagai upaya bersama memperkuat keadilan dan solidaritas dalam kemanusiaan. Setidaknya akan ada 400 orang delegasi dari 127 negara yang turut hadir dalam General Assembly 2024.

ACT Alliance adalah aliansi dari 150 lembaga-lembaga pelayanan kemanusiaan dan pembangunan berbasis gereja di 127 negara (actalliance.org). ACT Alliance sendiri didirikan oleh Dewan Gereja Dunia pada tahun 2010 untuk urusan kemanusiaan, pembangunan dan advokasi.

Seperti keterangan Ketua I Pengurus YAKKUM saat bertemu Gubernur DIY, fokus kegiatan General Assembly ini nantinya berupa bantuan kemanusiaan, perubahan iklim, serta perdamaian dan keamanan untuk mendukung masyarakat lokal. Selain itu, kegiatan religi juga akan dilaksanakan di gereja cagar budaya Gondokusuman. “Nantinya juga akan ada acara religius yang pusatnya di gereja cagar budaya. Di sana akan dilakukan berbagai tradisi seperti gamelan serta ritual-ritual yang sangat erat dengan tradisi Jogja yang dikemas dengan ibadah yang baik,” kata Simon.

Mewakili YAKKUM yang terpilih menjadi penyelenggara General Assembly ACT Alliance, Pdt. Simon menyampaikan bahwa pihaknya telah melakukan persiapan mulai dari pembentukan panitia hingga rapat dengan beberapa pihak terkait. Ia menambahkan, “Kemudian kami sekarang juga sedang proses penggalangan dana dan semoga pada pelaksanaannya bisa berjalan dengan lancar.”

Beberapa waktu sebelumnya YAKKUM dan ACT Allaince juga melakukan pertemuan di Kantor Pusat YAKKUM untuk membicarakan persiapan Gerenal Assembly. Dalam pertemuan itu hadir (kiri-kanan) Arshinta (YAKKUM), Minnie Anne Mata-Calub (Governing Board ACT), Pdt. Simon (YAKKUM), Peni (YAKKUM), Rita (YAKKUM), Rudelmar Bueno de Faria (Secretary General ACT), beserta AAC (Assembly Advisory Committee) Odongo, Patricia Mungcal, Charlotte Belot.
