Health clinics closed down

JAKARTA (JP): The city public order office has closed down three health clinics for conducting illegal abortions.

The office revealed that two of the clinics are located in Jl. Pintu Air, Petamburan in Central Jakarta and in the Pademangan area, North Jakarta.

The head of the city health office, Aslam Lasman, said yesterday that his office has recommended that the three clinics be closed down for violating their permits.

"Based on our investigation the clinics conduct abortion illegally," Aslam said

He said that his office finds it difficult to control clinics. "My office only reports any violations committed by them to the city public order office." (yns)
