Puncak, Papua (01/ 27/26) — Amid the rugged and remote highlands of Papua, personnel from the Damai Cartenz Task Force 2026 carried out a direct community outreach patrol in Sinak District, Puncak Regency, on Tuesday. In addition to maintaining security, officers also provided mobile medical services to local residents.
The activity was conducted by personnel from the Sinak post, who visited traditional honai huts and residential homes. While ensuring the security situation remained conducive, the task force also performed basic health checks, distributed vitamins, and provided free medication to children, women, and elderly residents.
Head of Operation Damai Cartenz 2026, Brig. Gen. Pol. Dr. Faizal Ramadhani, stated that the initiative reflects the Indonesian National Police’s human-centered approach to maintaining security in Papua.
“Our personnel are present in communities not only as law enforcers, but also as public servants and protectors. Through this health outreach, we aim to help meet the community’s basic needs, particularly in the health sector,” Brig. Gen. Faizal Ramadhani said.
He emphasized that a soft approach strategy is a key pillar of Operation Damai Cartenz 2026 in building trust between security forces and the community.
“Health is essential for people to carry out daily activities. When communities are healthy, social and economic life can function better. This is our commitment to keeping Papua safe, peaceful, and stable through a humanitarian touch,” he added.
The dialogical patrol and free medical services were warmly welcomed by residents of Sinak District. Many expressed appreciation, noting that the healthcare services were delivered directly to their villages, sparing them long and difficult journeys to distant medical facilities.
Following the activity, daily life in the area continued as normal, with the security situation in Sinak District reported to be safe and under control. The Damai Cartenz Task Force 2026 affirmed that similar initiatives will continue across other operational areas as part of ongoing efforts to maintain security stability and improve the welfare of communities in Papua.
