PK campaigns with free medical service

MEDAN, North Sumatra: The local chapter of the Justice Party (PK) has substituted street rallies with holding free medical services in a number of sites across the city, attracting hundreds of poor people.

Chapter chairman Iskan Qolba Lubis said PK's programs included bazaars of cheap staple food and consultation services on various problems. "The free medical services, however, attract the most visitors," he said on Saturday.

"Residents want us to provide the services even on holidays," another PK executive said. (39)
