Treatment of Victims of Oil Well Explosion in East Aceh Assisted through JKA and BPJS Health

Banda Aceh - Governor of Aceh, Irwandi Yusuf, said the government can not immediately close the oil mine despite illegal drilling. This is because the oil field is one of the economic sources of society in East Aceh.

Indeed, illegal drilling, police officers also know, but if we take firm action by closing, this drilling is also one of the livelihood of the community there, said Irwandi Yusuf to the media crew after submitting the Report of Accountability LKPJ (2017) in plenary conference room , Aceh's House of Representatives, Wednesday, April 25, 2018.

He admitted the community-run oilfield fire incident was not the first case. Previously, according to Governor Irwandi, there has also been a similar fire.

But not this sedahsyat. As a suggestion from the council members, it needs to be granted a people's mining permit, but is supervised and fostered by Pertamina and ESDM Department, said the Governor again.

Governor Irwandi guarantees the handling of a number of victims due to this work accident will be assisted through Health Insurance Aceh (JKA) and BPJS Health.
