Health center roof crumbles

TANGERANG: The roof of a public health center (puskesmas) in
Panongan district, Tangerang came down on Thursday afternoon. No
one was injured in the incident.

"Since 2002, we have repeatedly asked the Tangerang
administration to renovate the building, and the regency health
agency has sent officials to check the building, but there was no
follow-up," she told The Jakarta Post on Friday.

She said the health center has not been renovated since it was
built in 1986.

"The building's terrible condition had long worried employees
and patients," she said.

Tangerang Regent Ismet Iskandar, who visited the dilapidated
facility on Friday, promised to build a new one near the Panongan
district administration office. --JP
