In line with the company's policy to contribute the local community development, PT PHC Indonesia
periodically carried out Corporate Social Responsibility activities focusing on activity related to health
improvement. This fiscal is third year of our CSR implementation and we already completed some activities as
below
- Construction of toilet and hand washing facility at elementary school
near to PHCI site
- Supporting local health organization activity by donating healthy meal
for baby / toddler periodically and holding health seminar
- Increase sanitation performance of employee housing by spraying
pesticides (to kill the pest) and holding pest control seminar
There are many elementary school near to PHCI site that have poor sanitation. Number of toilet is not equal
with number of student. Each school just have toilet no more than 4 units covering for 300 students more.
This condition has impact on smoothness of education process. Sometime students have to back home just for
go to toilet. Head of school and teacher really hoped the support from government and other party to add the
toilet number, but so far not realized yet. Beside toilet issue, there is no hand washing facility in each
elementary school. The students get difficulty to wash their hand after doing something or if they want to
eat. Indirectly this will impact on student’s health performance. Referring to above conditions PHCI
initiated to give donation by building toilet and hand washing facility at elementary school that has poor
sanitation. In this fiscal year donation is given to elementary school SDN Danau Indah 01 located around 3
km from PHCI. Ground breaking was done 28 February 2019 attended by Mr. Miyazaki (PHC President) and Mr.
Maruhashi (PHC Director).
Second CSR activity that we done is supporting local health organization activity. There is Indonesia
government direction that every village should have organization that has function to maintain and improve
health of pregnant mother, baby and toddler as well. This organization called ‘POSYANDU’. The
main activity is monitoring the baby/toddler development including their health, giving vitamin/food
supplement, immunization program and education. Government health agency has responsibility to control and
manage those activities. Realizing that this organization is very important for developing next generation,
PHCI initiate to support the organization’s activities by donating ‘health meal’ (such as
milk, biscuit) for baby/ toddler and holding health seminar periodically. Donation of health meal is done
every month for 50 child, whereas for health seminar the last one was held on 7 January 2019 in
collaboration with the doctor from ‘OMNI’ hospital.
Sanitation is become a common problem in every housing. Poor drainage system causing many water puddle in
water canal lead to breed of mosquito faster, especially during transition period from dry season to wet
season. One type of mosquito, called aedes agypty, is very dangerous. This mosquito can cause dengue fever
which if not properly handle can cause fatality. The spreading of this disease also very fast. To anticipate
this problem, PHCI initiate to do spraying of pesticides in employee housing to eradicate the mosquito. In
this fiscal year, the activity is carried out at ‘Kartika Wanasari II’ housing on 19 January
2019, in collaboration with our pest control vendor PT Etos Indonusa. At that moment, we also held pest
control seminar to increase the knowledge and awareness of community.
