RI-Australia hospital relations

JAKARTA (JP): Pertamina Central Hospital is studying the
possibility of cooperation with hospitals in Western Australia to
develop human resources and increase medical equipment.

Setyanegara, Pertamina Hospital's director, said over the
weekend that many things can be obtained from the bilateral
cooperation, Antara reported.

The statements were made after a meeting with the Minister of
Health and Manpower of Western Australia Graham Keirath last
Friday.

The hospital has sent four nurses to Western Australia to
study for Diploma I in nursery, a one-and-a-half year course. The
four have returned to Indonesia.

Keirath told reporters that Indonesia is Western Australia's
nearest neighbor, so it is understandable that his country
intends to cooperate with Indonesia. (05)
