RADAR TRENGGALEK – The RSUD dr Soedomo Ramadan services schedule will run normally throughout the fasting month. Therefore, residents can continue accessing emergency, inpatient, and outpatient care without concern about reduced hours..

RSUD dr Soedomo Trenggalek confirmed that all core medical services will operate 24 hours a day during Ramadan. According to acting director Dr. Saeroni, hospitals must maintain uninterrupted care regardless of fasting schedules.

“Hospital services during Ramadan remain the same in principle. Emergency and inpatient units operate 24 hours,” he said.

Medical staff will continue working in the standard three-shift rotation used outside Ramadan. As a result, doctors and nurses remain available at all times across departments.

The morning shift runs from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m., while the afternoon shift covers 2 p.m. to 9 p.m. The night shift then operates from 9 p.m. to 7 a.m. the next day. Consequently, patient care continues without interruption.

In addition, outpatient polyclinics will maintain regular service hours during Ramadan. Patients can still access consultations and routine treatment without major schedule changes.

Clinic services typically begin at 8 a.m. and continue until all registered patients receive care. Thus, hospitals prevent delays in non-emergency treatment during the fasting month.

However, administrative staff follow government Ramadan working-hour policies for five-day schedules. Morning office hours generally run from 7 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., with shorter hours on Fridays.

Nevertheless, these adjustments affect only administrative functions. Medical care availability remains unchanged. Hospital leaders stress that clinical services take priority over internal scheduling changes.

Authorities apply the same principle across Trenggalek’s broader healthcare network, including community health centers. Emergency and essential services remain available around the clock.

Ultimately, Saeroni emphasized that hospitals and health facilities cannot pause critical care under any circumstances. Continuous service ensures patient safety throughout Ramadan.
