Following floods and landslides in Aceh Tamiang, various parties are collaborating to restore health, education, and economic services. Pertamina supports RSUD Muda Sedia with energy and clean water supplies, while the government deploys ASN volunteers and IPDN cadets to clean public facilities. Market activities are resuming, signaling economic recovery.
Amid recovery from floods and landslides that struck Aceh Tamiang at the end of 2025, cross-sector collaboration is key. RSUD Muda Sedia Aceh Tamiang reopened on December 9, 2025, and by year's end had served 507 inpatients, 2,350 outpatients, 48 surgeries, 8 ICU patients, 20 dialysis cases, and 656 emergency visits.
Hospital Director dr. Andika Putra emphasized energy stability. "In the transitional recovery period post-disaster, energy stability is crucial. Electricity is the lifeblood of medical equipment. We greatly appreciate Pertamina's swift full BBM supply for the genset," he said. Through the Pertamina Peduli program, Pertamina provides BBM for 24-hour genset power and 1-2 daily clean water tanks for sanitation. Pertamina's Vice President Corporate Communication, Muhammad Baron, added, "Nutritional fulfillment for paramedics and patients is supported through the Pertamina Peduli public kitchen, where medical fighters and patients receive nutritious meals three times a day."
Meanwhile, the Ministry of Home Affairs deploys IPDN cadets to clean and reorganize district offices and assist economic recovery for communities. Deputy Minister Bima Arya Sugiarto welcomed the first batch on January 3, 2026, stating, "Our task here is to accelerate the return of government functions." The Aceh government sent 3,000 ASN volunteers on December 29-30, 2025, to clean public facilities, followed by 4,000 more for schools, without using APBA travel budgets, as explained by Posko Spokesperson Murthalamuddin.
TNI and Polri cleaned schools like SMA Al-Jamiatul Washliyah in Kuala Simpang on January 3, 2026, to enable classes to resume on Monday. Activities at Pasar Sabtu Tualang Cut are bustling again, with a trader noting, "Business is better behind this calamity. The economy is starting to move again." Home Affairs Minister Tito Karnavian described Aceh Tamiang as the most severely affected area, while President Prabowo Subianto highlighted needs for clean water and public facilities.
These efforts demonstrate collective commitment to restoring normalcy in Aceh Tamiang.
