BOGOR – Twenty people with mental disorders (ODGJ) from Panti Aura Welas Asih, Palabuhanratu, Sukabumi, underwent a mass check-up at the Psychiatric Polyclinic of the National Mental Health Center (PKJN) at Marzoeki Mahdi Hospital, Bogor, on Thursday, November 14, 2024.
The visit aimed to optimize efficiency in distance, time, and costs, given the considerable distance between Palabuhanratu and Bogor.

Best wishes for Panti Aura Welas Asih and Marzoeki Mahdi Hospital Bogor,” he said.
The psychiatrist who examined the patients highlighted the importance of consistent medication and regular follow-ups for optimal recovery. “We encourage patients to continue taking their medication and attending regular check-ups to maintain their health,” one psychiatrist explained.
Zulian Putri, one of the companions accompanying the patients, expressed her gratitude for the services at PKJN Marzoeki Mahdi Hospital. “The staff here are very friendly, and we’ve been well-assisted. Thank you for the excellent service,” she shared.
