Suara Ponorogo – Bantarangin Regional Hospital, which went viral as “Hospitel,” will soon start operating its services in November 2023, even though it has still not reached the optimal human resource quota.
This decision was confirmed by the Ponorogo Regency Government in a ceremony to hand over Decree Letters to dozens of health workers (Nakes) in Pringgitan on Monday (9/10/23) afternoon.
