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.
