Pay Extra Attention to Indonesia’s Senior Citizens in the New Normal: Minister
Given that the deaths of Indonesian senior citizens infected with the Covid-19 virus makeup 43.7 percent of total Covid-19-related deaths, careful attention in the new normal will be integral.
Editor Cantika Rustandi
Over 6,486 packages of basic goods (sembako) have been distributed among the country’s elderly in the provinces of Banten, West Java, Central Java, East Java, and the Jogjakarta Special Region.
Each package is valued at Rp 300,000 and consists of rice, canned biscuits, juice, and instant noodles.
Indonesia’s senior citizens who have not received assistance through the Ministry of Social Affairs' Social Rehabilitation for the Elderly Program were prioritized in receiving the packages.
Other methods to aid Indonesia’s senior citizens include adjusting the 2020 budget of the ministry’s Directorate of Social Rehabilitation division.
