The main player was the Indonesian Medical Association,<br>\nwhich took the initiative to send a letter to the Ministry of<br>\nHealth about the case of Dr. Samsuridjal Djauzi. Medistra<br>\nHospital had prohibited Samsuridjal from treating patients<br>\nbecause he had treated several people living with HIV\/AIDS at<br>\nMedistra Hospital. The case became known to the public when the<br>\ndoctor sent a letter to Kompas, which was printed on Aug. 8.<\/p>\n<p>The health ministry resolved the case after intense reporting<br>\nof the incident in the mass media.<\/p>\n<p>Apart from the Indonesian Medical Association, those most<br>\ndeserving of credit for the settlement of the Medistra case are<br>\nnon-governmental organizations like the Kusuma Buana Foundation,<br>\nwhich organized a forum to discuss the controversy within days of<br>\nthe publication of Dr. Samsuridjal&apos;s letter in Kompas; the Pelita<br>\nIlmu Foundation; and prominent figures, such as Dr. Nafsiah Mboi.<\/p>\n<p>IRWAN JULIANTO<\/p>\n<p>Jakarta<\/p>\n<p>Note: The writer was provided with the above information by<br>\nSarsanto Wirawan and Mawarwati Djamaloeddin of the Indonesian<br>\nAIDS Foundation.<\/p>\n<p>-- Editor<\/p>",
