Biaya Melahirkan di Rumah Sakit Mitra Keluarga Depok

Ketika usia kandungan memasuki 36 minggu, saya sempat berjanji untuk menulis tentang biaya melahirkan di RS (Rumah Sakit) tempat saya melahirkan nantinya. Hal ini dikarenakan tidak ada tulisan yang update mengenai biaya melahirkan di RS untuk tahun 2017, khususnya untuk RS Mitra Keluarga Depok. Jadi saya berpikir, mungkin ada Ibu-Ibu yang sedang menuju full term (kehamilan menginjak usia 36 minggu) dan ingin melahirkan di RS Mitra Keluarga Depok, namun belum tahu berapa kira-kira biaya melahirkan di RS ini. Sekedar informasi, saya melahirkan putra pertama saya dan suami pada tanggal 4 November 2017, dengan persalinan normal dan menginap di Kamar VIP. Sehingga rincian harga yang akan saya tulis di bawah ini adalah untuk persalinan normal dengan menggunakan kamar perawatan VIP. Untuk persalinan C-Section dan kamar perawatan kelas lainnya, saya tidak begitu mengetahuinya dengan detail.

Jadi saya dan suami dikenakan biaya total sekitar Rp. 15.448.300,- dengan rincian sebagai berikut:

    Jumlah                                                                                                              Rp.2.872.000,-

    Biaya Administrasi & Service   5%                                                                 Rp. 143.600,-

    Biaya Materai                                                                                                   Rp. 6.000,   

   
    
    Jumlah Yang Harus Dibayar                                                                            Rp. 3.021.600,-

                                    Terus terang saya dan suami lumayan kaget dengan harga tersebut. Kami menyangka biayanya akan jauh lebih mahal mengingat ketika adik saya rawat inap di rumah sakit yang sama selama beberapa hari saja, biayanya mencapai hampir dua kali lipat dari biaya saya melahirkan. Jadi kami sudah menyiapkan budget lebih kalau-kalau ternyata harus melahirkan Caesar atau biaya yang dikenakan rumah sakit terlalu tinggi. Alhamdulillah kami hanya harus membayar setengah dari perkiraan awal kami.

                                    Oh ya, kalau ada yang wondering kenapa saya dan suami memilih RS Mitra Keluarga sebagai tempat saya bersalin, maka ada dua alasan. Alasan pertama adalah karena dekat dengan rumah. Kebayang kan ketika lagi kontraksi, terus ternyata rumah sakitnya jauh, OMG saya nggak bisa bayangin rasanya. Sebenarnya RS. Bunda Margonda lebih dekat dengan rumah kami, namun setelah survey, saya kurang nyaman. Alasannya karena rumah sakitnya lebih kecil dari RS. Mitra Keluarga dan selain itu ceiling nya rendah banget, jadinya berasa sesak dan sempit menurut saya. Anyway, alasan kedua memilih RS. Mitra Keluarga Depok adalah karena dr.Sofani kemungkinan besar bisa menangani persalinan saya kalau saya melahirkan di RS. Mitra Keluarga Depok (katanya dekat rumah).

Sekian sharing dari saya, semoga bermanfaat ya! 

Little Story about An Amazing Workshop in Bunaken Island

Earlier November 2015, I had an amazing experience to present and to attend a workshop related to energy and development. The workshop was initiated by Smart Village Initiative. I have known Smart Village since last year when i decided to apply to  University of Cambridge as a PhD student. I met Prof. John in the workshop, an academic whom I put high respect on. He was the one who introduced me with Smart Village, a very kind-hearted professor I have ever known in my entire life so far.

Talking about the workshop, since my research interest is always on the intersection between energy and development, i was so excited to attend it, although I also felt tremendously nervous as the presenters are top-notch people in development field. Let me mention Ibu Tri Mumpuni or widely known as Bu Puni, the one and only true hero of renewable energy deployment in Indonesia. Bu Puni is the Director of IBEKA, a social organization which have many renewable energy projects using participatory development in Indonesia. Other social enterprise players such as Kopernik aslo attend the workshop. Other presenters came from various countries particularly some countries in Pacific region which you might have never heard like Fiji and Kingdom of Tonga. Australia also sent their presenter to the workshop.

In the workshop, we discussed about off-grid electrification for development of small islands. Indonesia is home for myriad of small islands. Some of them are inhabited and many others are not. For those which are inhabited, the issue of energy provision and electricity are the real struggle. PLN as Indonesia's electricity company still could not afford to electrify those front-line islands. Thus, the community in the island mostly rely their needs of electricity on the renewable energy sources. Usually the community in the remote island generate electricity from solar panel. For basic electricity needs like lighting and cooking, the community bought the renewable energy technologies from the social enterprise like Kopernik. However, those community are often failed to pay the technologies, hence end up trapped by mountainous loan. I basically do not really like the idea of selling technologies to the poor, as their purchasing power is usually very low, but if really there is no other options for the poor, the-so-called social enterprise could be considered.

In the fiirst day of the workshop days, we had a chance to visit a community which got their electricity from the solar panel installation in their village. Too bad, the electricity they received was not in the maximum capacity as some panels were dis-functioned. It was actually a project given by PLN (Indonesia's electricity company). There was actually a PLN representative came to the workshop, yet unfortunately she did not join the field visit due to she just joined the workshop in the second day. It would be very nice if she could see and if we could listen to her explanation about the current situation occurred on some of the panels.

The second day of the workshop was full of valuable presentation. I was truly hyped and wowed to listen to some new concept as well as practical projects that have been done by those practitioners. I really need to study more and to practice more as development is not merely concept, it is best when it is practiced and used for the betterment of the community. I could not explained about the presentation one by one, but i for sure will make a summary of those presentation and will upload it in here. Now, I have to go back to my current work in the Ministry of Development Planning. I hope God will give me another chance to be able to participate in many other events related to energy and development. I also hope that I could meet many great profs, practitioners, and experts who do the issue of energy and development nexus for years. I am keen to study more!

Seeing ASEAN from the national level (Indonesia level)

So here I am back with the new job! I will conduct the ASEAN and Open Government Indonesia (OGI) research for about 5 months. The former one will discuss about how ready is Indonesia in facing ASEAN Community 2015 and the latter will discuss the commitment of Indonesian government to Open Government Indonesia. It is exciting to work on very new and fresh issue. At first, I thought that i would discuss oh-so-old issue of ASEAN complexities. As International Relations student back then in UI, discussing ASEAN' issue was my almost daily "food". I mean none of IR students of UI who don't familiar with ASEAN issues. We all discussed that and yes it was boring. However, this research i am doing now is very much new idea. I discuss ASEAN deeper on the national level, like what the hell is going on inside Indonesia? Does ASEAN matters for Indonesia people? What's wrong with the on-going coordination amid ministries? And what's the hurdles and why is it hovering only between those elits?

I met a lot of ministerial people, did FGD, will do in-depth interview and field works again! That's the most interesting part, the field work! Usually when i talk about ASEAN, i assume that it only stays in the elits bubble. However, i will go directly to some islands in Indonesia to interview the district governments and the people directly, MY SELF! I am used to field work but this one is very much fresh as i am used to very much pessimist about the issue, so i am going to prove my hypothesis directly. So, i will update you about it again.

Will Oil Prices Drop Affect the Future of Renewable Energy in Indonesia?

The oil prices have dropped to below $50 per barrel. Many people contend that this could scare off investment in renewable energy as it needs huge budget to deploy renewable energy project. With a very low oil prices, many people believe that renewable energy projects will experience a delay thus it could give a bad impact for renewables future. However, many experts argue that it is unlikely to impact the future of renewable energy in Indonesia. There are several reasons for it such as government support and the price of renewable energy is falling too.

Firstly, the renewable energy is fully supported by the government of Republic of Indonesia through long-term PPA (Power-Purchase Agreement) contracts. Through the PPA, government is committed to buy electricity generated from renewables in certain fixed prices. The prices have already determined long before and will be used for 20-30 years ahead. Thus any sudden hit like the plummet of oil prices will not giving a significant impact to renewable energy investment in the long run. In addition, the government of Indonesia has committed, by 2025, Indonesia aims to install 6.7 gigawatts (GW) of new renewable energy capacity by increasing the proportion of renewables from 7 percent to 15 percent of total energy production.[1]

Secondly, many prices of renewable energy projects have already been competitive. Solar and wind power are one of those examples. According to Pavel Molchanov, a senior research analyst at Raymond James Financial, solar can compete effectively with diesel-fired generation.[2] In addition, the total LCOE (Levelized Cost of Energy) for onshore wind is cheaper than that of conventional coal as well as natural gas-fired plants with carbon capture and storage.[3] In Indonesia itself, some renewable sources have abundant resource potential such as hydropower, geothermal, and biomass.

The only problem for renewable energy in Indonesia is not the price of oil or gas or coal, but government will and regulatory measures. It often struggles to implement policy initiatives, which causes bottle-necks for innovative technologies like renewable energy. If government sticks with their commitment to increase the proportion of renewable energy, the plunge of oil prices will not hurt the future of renewable energy.

I see a new trend in current world that they called it crowd-funding. I am still analyzing it whether i could combine it with 5P Method for a better method of rural electrification project. I am still confuse to what extend people can be significantly reliable. Call me a little bit conservative but i still believe that every components in a country shall work together for a betterment.

Indeed it is totally wrong to rely everything on the hand of government. However, i sometime sense solely people power leads to nowhere. I believe that the aforementioned combination is God's formula, the thing is i may need longer reading and contemplating to create one.

Generalization (and or over-generalization) that occurs frequently to date bothers me immensely. I mean, how come ones formulate some policies without ever set their feet to the field. I tell you, Aceh and Papua is different, that is in provinces level, not to mention sub-villages level. I do not understand scientists who creates something without feeling it at first. I mean how can you say it is a chocolate if you never taste a chocolate (as what my bf always told me).

Henceforth, undertaking rural electrification project is not an easy job as it is related to the lives of many villagers who has been living in the dark world, literally. Thus a good method should be carefully studied and applied if ones do hope a betterment of people's lives.
