E. Kalimantan seeks medical staff<\/p>\n
SAMARINDA, East Kalimantan (JP): Local officials here on
\nWednesday highlighted the need for more medical staff in the
\nprovince saying that the lack of human resources severely impeded
\nhealth care.<\/p>\n
The head of the provincial Health Agency, Awang Joenani, said
\nthat the lack of medical staff was particularly acute in Kutai
\nKertanegara Regency and Bulungan Regency.<\/p>\n
\"We've tried to conduct human resource training with locals in
\nthose regencies this past year, but the results are limited,\" he
\nsaid as quoted by Antara.<\/p>\n
As a consequence, the agency must assign medical staff to the
\nregencies.<\/p>\n
Separately on Wednesday, Deputy Director for General Affairs
\nand Finance at A Wahab Sjachranie General Hospital here,
\nSugiyanto, expressed hope that regional autonomy will not
\nsignificantly effect the hospital.<\/p>\n
\"We're hoping for an increased allocation from the regional
\nbudget because only Rp 7 billion from the total hospital
\nexpenditure of Rp 16 billion ($1.7 million) comes from the
\nbudget,\" he said.(hdn)<\/p>",
