Prabowo Subianto, the President-elect of Indonesia for the 2024-2029 term, expressed his gratitude and pride towards the Indonesian medical team responsible for the successful surgery on his leg. In a post on his personal Instagram account @prabowo on Sunday (June 30), he thanked the medical team led by Brigadier General (Ret.) Dr. Robert Hutauruk, Colonel Dr. Sunaryo, Dr. Siska Widayati, and Dr. Thomas, along with all the nurses and medical personnel at the RSPPN Sudirman for the successful major surgery.
The surgery, which took place a week ago, was necessary due to a long-standing injury caused by two parachuting accidents during his active duty in the Indonesian National Armed Forces. Despite acknowledging the risks and life-threatening nature of the procedure, Prabowo reassured himself that it was necessary for his health.
The hospital where the surgery was performed was officially inaugurated in February by President Joko Widodo and Prabowo. Renovated and equipped by Prabowo, along with 25 other military hospitals, it is under the supervision of the Ministry of Defense.
Prabowo expressed his readiness to resume his activities now that the surgery was successful. He emphasized his dedication to serving the country and the people of Indonesia, thanking everyone for their prayers and support.
