Menteri Kesehatan Republik Indonesia Budi G. Sadikin bertemu dengan CEO SpaceX Elon Musk untuk menjajaki kemungkinan kerja sama antara Pemerintah Indonesia dan Starlink, jaringan satelit milik SpaceX, untuk menyediakan akses internet di Puskesmas yang terletak di daerah tertinggal, terdepan, dan terluar (3T).
“Ini merupakan upaya kami untuk memastikan layanan kesehatan yang setara dan merata di tanah air. Puskesmas sebagai garda terdepan untuk menciptakan masyarakat yang sehat harus dipastikan infrastrukturnya memadai,” ungkap Menteri Kesehatan Republik Indonesia Budi G. Sadikin dalam siaran persnya, Senin (07/08/2023).
Saat ini dari 10 ribu lebih Puskesmas yang ada, masih ada sekitar 2.200 Puskesmas dengan 11.100 Puskesmas Pembantu yang belum memiliki akses internet.
Peningkatan konektivitas internet dapat membuka akses yang lebih baik ke layanan kesehatan, dan akses komunikasi antar daerah akan lebih mudah sehingga pelaporan dari fasilitas pelayanan kesehatan bisa real time.
Aktivitas ini juga mendukung agenda digitalisasi transformasi kesehatan Indonesia.
“Dengan adanya akses internet, konsultasi layanan kesehatan dapat dilakukan secara online. Peningkatan kemampuan tenaga kesehatan lewat pelatihan jarak jauh juga bisa dilakukan,” jelas Menkes Budi.
Sebagai informasi, Starlink adalah nama jaringan satelit yang dikembangkan oleh perusahaan Spaceflight Swasta SpaceX untuk menyediakan internet murah ke lokasi terpencil.
Starlink adalah satelit pertama dan terbesar di dunia dengan konstelasi menggunakan orbit bumi yang rendah untuk menghadirkan internet broadband yang mampu mendukung aktivitas online.
Saat ini, fasilitas layanan kesehatan di Filipina, Rwanda, Mozambik, dan Nigeria juga telah menggunakan Starlink.
