More health workers recruited for Aceh

BANDA ACEH: The Ministry of Health plans to recruit 880 health
workers for postings in 55 resettlement areas of displaced
persons camps across Aceh.

Human resources development officials at the provincial health
agency, Burhanuddin, said on Monday the new recruits, comprising
general practitioners, dentists, nurses, pharmacists,
nutritionists and environmental health experts, would serve for
three months, with a possible extension, if necessary.

Each post will be handled by a team of 16 medical workers.

Burhanuddin said many of the people registering for the
humanitarian mission had demonstrated a reluctance to work in
remote areas in Aceh Jaya regency.

The disaster has left over 200,000 dead or missing and more
than 400,000 people displaced. -- Antara
