While working from
home during large scale social restriction period (or, PSBB in Bahasa
Indonesia) which is Indonesian version of partial lock down, I can’t help but
thinking about those who have to work relentlessly to ensure that our society
can fulfill the basic needs. Well, who would bring you food if nobody sells
groceries? And who will tend the patients if no nurse works in the hospitals?
These are the time where the essentials are more important than before, and
everyone bears the burden of physical distancing patiently.
As a person that writes
travel-related articles, staying home is an inopportuneness that I must face.
But as a part of a society that strives to heal from Covid-19 epidemic, staying
safe is a duty, therefore I stay home. However, staying home can also be
considered as a privilege since there are so many people that have to work to
keep us safe.
I’m stirred to write
something different from my usual theme since it is about a different kind of
travel. It is not a fun-loving travel, but it is a duty-obliging journey. It is
distribution. Well, not just distribution, but distribution of health-related
products.

Since the
announcement of the initial Covid-19 case, which officially entered Indonesia
in early March 2020, up to April 4th, 2020, 2.273 cases have been
tested positive with 198 deaths and 164 recovering. As one of Indonesia's top
pharmacy distributor companies, PT Anugerah Pharmindo Lestari (APL) strives to maintain
the best effort in its operation to serve the community, including doctors, hospitals,
and clinics. Despite everything, APL preserves to hold a strict procedure to
all employees and partners in order to prevent the Covid-19 from spreading more
and more.
Targeted actions established
by APL are performed in two levels, internal level and external level. From the
internal side, APL, under the leadership of Christophe Piganiol as the President
Director, makes sure that everyone in the company receives maximum health
protection. Now that Covid-19 has spread widely in the community and the number
of positive cases continues to creep up, APL also ensures that every employee
is well under supervision. It moves to support the “stay home” physical distancing
program advocated by the government in order to reduce the spread of this virus
in the country.
As one of the top
healthcare companies in Indonesia, APL must ensure that the delivery of
medicines throughout Indonesia reaches those need it. APL works so that medical
equipment can be properly distributed and available to as many people as
possible throughout Indonesia. Medical equipment is not merely about PPE or Covid-19
related medicines, as other diseases still need treatment and can also endanger
the lives of other people.
Concerning current circumstances,
APL also ensures that every employee who still has to work and all partners
involved in delivering drugs will get more attention. Not only body temperature
screening, providing supplies masks, hand sanitizers, gloves, and vitamin, the
company also ensures that safety procedures are followed.
As all APL employees
maintain their hygiene and safety and are able to carry out their duties to
deliver health equipment properly, access to health also remains open to all
Indonesians. Even in the midst of a pandemic, APL as one of the top
pharmaceutical distributor companies in Indonesia maintains its main mission in
making healthcare more accessible to the people of Indonesia
This also embodies
APL's commitment to the Indonesian government and society. Since February 2020,
APL has ensured that the entire company's annual agenda in the company has also
been converted into an online format until an indefinite time limit and adjustable
to government’s direction regarding the Covid-19 epidemic.
On the external side,
APL as one of the top healthcare distributions in Indonesia has been directly
involved in helping the government by collecting funds of Rp 200 million to
support government fights against Covid-19 by providing education to pharmacist
on how to prevent Covid-19 outbreak and other actions.
APL is an example of
Indonesia's top pharmaceutical distributor who is responsive and continues to
maintain its commitment to support the health sector in the country and ensure
the availability of high-quality products and medical equipment for the entire
community. The high initiative and social awareness shown by APL is a clear
proof of APL's role as a top healthcare company in Indonesia.
