SEMARANG: The Dr. Kariadi Hospital has reported a 10 percent
increase in the number of children treated for diarrhea in the
past month.

Antara quoted Dr. Rochmanadji Widayat from the hospital as
saying that 692 children had been treated in July, with 107 of
them or 15.5 percent being treated for diarrhea. He blamed the
