1,000 doctors open illegal practices

JAKARTA: Over 1,000 doctors and dentists have opened illegal
practices in Central Jakarta municipality, Central Jakarta Mayor
Muhayat said on Monday.

Muhayat said that there were 3,234 doctors and dentists
operating in his municipality, but only 2,005 of them had permits
to practice in Central Jakarta.

"The condition causes hesitation among the people, who are
seeking health services," said Muhayat, calling on doctors and
dentists who have not obtained their permits to immediately
obtain them.

He, however, did not mention measures that may be taken
against the doctors. --JP
