Following a shooting incident in the Jila District of Mimika Regency, Central Papua, healthcare workers have experienced significant psychological trauma. The Mimika Health Office reported that medical services in the district were temporarily suspended to ensure personnel safety after staff were previously evacuated via Indonesian Air Force helicopters.

As of mid-September, the Mimika District Health Office continues to withhold the return of medical personnel to Jila until authorities provide official security guarantees. While local indigenous health workers are on standby, full medical operations remain pending these safety assurances.
