East Timor requires paramedics

MATARAM, West Nusa Tenggara: East Timor, whose independence is
to be proclaimed on May 20, 2002, urgently requires paramedics
and this a golden opportunity for Indonesian paramedics, says a
WHO staffer.

The WHO representative in Mataram, Linggom, said he had
obtained the information on the job opportunities from Rui, East
Timor's designate minister of health, and the information had
been disseminated through the internet.

"The job opportunities are suitable for Indonesian paramedics
because one of requirements is that the applicants speak Bahasa
Indonesia," he said, adding that the East Timor government-in-
waiting would need professionals from Indonesia as Bahasa
Indonesia was still widely used in the territory.

According to Linggom, Rui had assured him that Indonesian
professionals recruited by the East Timor government would be
fully protected. --Antara
