dr. Farhan mentioned that trauma cases can be divided into two causes, low velocity (low speed) and high velocity (high speed).

“So it's not just vehicle accidents. But it can also be from fighting, falling, being hit by a heavy object, or work accidents,” he said.

Radjak Hospital Purwakarta has a collaboration with the operators of the Cipularang and Cipali toll roads in monitoring the risk of accidents on the road. This collaboration allows Radjak Hospital Purwakarta to receive direct information about accidents on the toll road.

“During the last Lebaran, we usually provide almost 20 health service posts scattered from Cipularang and the trans-Java toll road. So, if there is an accident, we will be informed directly,” said Marketing of Radjak Hospital Purwakarta, dr. Susi.
