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
