Reporting patient radiation dose data records to BAPETEN has become an obligation that must be complied with by hospitals and clinics that have diagnostic and interventional radiology services as mandated in BAPETEN Regulation No.4 of 2020 Article 18.

This is the first mentoring activity to be carried out and will be scheduled on an ongoing basis for other areas. In this activity, the team led by the Head of the National Patient Radiation Dose Mapping Working Group, Endang Kunarsih, provided direct guidance for the process of recording radiation dose data as well as the reporting mechanism and assisted in giving radiation output data through direct measurement of the modalities owned. Endang Kunarsih expects that after receiving assistance, facilities must be diligent in recording patient doses completely and routinely report them to BAPETEN.

Assistance to facilities in the South Sulawesi region was provided to Primaya Hospital Makassar, Hermina Hospital Makassar, Labuang Baji Hospital, and Dadi Regional Hospital South Sulawesi Province. Facilities receiving mentoring services are quite enthusiastic because the difficulties and obstacles faced by facilities can be directly guided for resolution so that they can smoothly carry out reporting. Facilities have also committed to reporting patient radiation dose data regularly to BAPETEN. [P2STPFRZR/Hermansyah/BHKK/CD/Da]
