Medics standby at airports

Special APEC medical centers have been opened at the Halim Perdanakusuma airport and the Soekarno-Hatta airport to anticipate any medical problems that might afflict the delegates.

Six doctors, eight support staff members and two ambulances are on 24-hour standby to provide medical service for the important guests, Dr. Tommy Halauwet, coordinator for the one at the Halim Perdanakusuma airport, told The Jakarta Post yesterday.

The medical centers are open for 10 days until Nov. 18.

"None of the guests have had any health problems. And I hope all of them will be all right," he said. (sim)
