MANILA (AFP): The Asian Development Bank (ADB) said here it
had approved a US$40 million loan for rural health and population
projects in Indonesia.

The Manila-based ADB said in a statement that the loan would
go to improving general health as well as maternal and child
health programs and family planning activities in the Sumatran
provinces of Aceh, Riau, South Sumatra, Lampung and West Sumatra.

The project, which will be coordinated by the ministry of
health, is expected to improve the health of the general
population, bring down infant and maternal deaths and reduce the
population growth rates.
