Fatmawati Hospital

Fatmawati Hospital is a tertiary referral hospital, located in South Jakarta. It is the only state hospital at Southern part of Jakarta, receiving patient from South Jakarta Municipalities, Tangerang District and City of Depok.

The idea of building the hospital was from Mrs. Fatmawati Soekarno (the first Indonesian First Lady) who intent to establish an Infant Tuberculosis Hospital to treat and rehabilitate children suffering from tuberculosis. To realize her idea, in 1953 Mrs. Fatmawati Soekarno established the Ibu Soekarno Foundation, by means of which she stated to collect funds for the establishment of the hospital building.

With the funds plus financial support from the Ministry of Social Affairs on October 24,1954, the establishment of the tuberculosis hospital was initiated using the name Mrs. Soekarno Hospital. The first stone was laid down by Mrs. Fatmawati Soekarno. However, as the foundation was suffering from lack of funds, the erection of the building was discontinued. On December 12,1958 the construction was taken over by the Ministry of Health with the approval from the Ministry of Social Affairs.

Based on the decree of the Minister of Health No. 21286/KEP/121 of April 1,1961, the foundation of the hospital was changed to General Hospital. The management, expenditures and maintenance of the hospital were under the responsibility of the Ministry of Health which was in force starting from April 15,1961. The date was then officially determined as the establishment date of the Fatmawati Hospital.

In the early 1967 the name ‘Mrs. Soekarno General Hospital’ was changed to ‘Fatmawati Central General Hospital’ and was determined as referral hospital in the South Jakarta area. Since May 30,1984 the hospital was determined as ‘B-class General Hospital’ and was put into function as teaching hospital for medical students as well as for future specialist.

In 1995 the Fatmawati Hospital was accredited as Baby Friendly Hospital , and in 1999 as Mother Friendly Hospital.

THE NATIONAL CLINICAL TRAINING NETWORK IN REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH ( NCTN)

Coordinator : Professor Biran Affandi, M.D., Ph.D.

NCTN is an institute of professional public service which was established on the agreement of its stakeholders (The Indonesian Society of Obstetrics and Gynecologists, Ministry of Health, The National Family Planning Board, and The John Hopkins Program International Education and Training in Reproductive Health/JHPIEGO). The objective of the establishment of NCTN was to create qualified clinic providers. In 1994, it is known that at the early period the organization was established, there were discrepancies in many clinical services stages due to lack or differences in competency of clinic providers. Such a condition can immediately be observed from the evaluation of results of the Family Planning clinics (particularly intrauterine contraceptive device and implant) at various service facilities.

Based on those results, The Indonesian Society of Obstetrics and Gynecologists, The National Family Planning Board, Ministry of Health, The John Hopkins Program International Education and Training in Reproductive Health, and the Heads of Obstetrics and Gynecology Department of certain Medical Faculties were in agreement to establish the NCTN to provide qualified clinic providers who are able to overcome any discrepancies.

One of the factors in making up quality is the presence of standard of various processes, which comes out in the form of satisfaction of clients. It is indeed what the NCTN are professionally going to establish in order to create qualified clinic providers.

The NCTN are carrying out adaptation and adjustments of various techniques and processes which are known to be effective and efficient in making qualified participants. Competency-based Training is one of components used in this method.

The training applied by the NCTN consists of training for qualified future trainers and clinical skill training for clinical providers. The training covers activities within the class rooms and within the clinics on models and patients. The training lasts around 6-10 days in conformity with type of training and progress made by attendants.

Any training center will need a kind of tool to monitor their activities, which is important in making evaluation in their performance and in planning their future training.

TIMS (Training Information Monitoring System) in a computer database program through the application of Microsoft Access 97 to be used to get information and to monitor training activities. It was initially developed by JHPIEGO using the name ‘TIA” (Training Information Application) for the information system on clinical training data in Kenya, in which its ability in keeping data on trainers and trainees was still limited. The program was later on improved such that it can keep information on training and supervision activities and its name was then changed to “Training Information Monitoring system” (TIMS).
