Medical check-ups from military

JAKARTA (JP): More than 1,700 Tambora residents in West
Jakarta received free medical check-ups yesterday from the
Jakarta Military Command in a public-service activity to
commemorate its 42nd anniversary this year.

Commander Maj. Gen. Sjafrie Sjamsoeddin said the free
treatments were aimed at building a closer a relationship between
military command members and the city residents.

"I do hope that soldiers always remember that they are also
from the people. So they are expected to serve the public,"
Sjafrie said.

The medical services were offered at Tambora apartments on Jl.
Raya Kali Angke and treatments included cataract and harelip
operations and circumcisions.

In a speech, Sjafrie thanked the team of doctors from nearby
Husada Hospital and other parties who helped the military command
carry out yesterday's activity. (jun)
