BOGOR: Bogor Health Agency has provided Rp 100 million
(US$10,000) fund to provide free health care for poor people in
the municipality.

"The people can obtain free treatment by filling out the form
available in each public health center," said head of the agency,
Triwandha Elan, on Thursday.

The agency has distributed 28,203 forms to the centers.

By being registered, the people do not need to worry about
medical treatment, medicines and surgery fees.

Besides the agency providing free medical care, the
municipality also received Rp 658.2 million from a fuel
compensation fund which has been handed over to the Bogor Red
Cross Hospital (PMI).

Since January, Rp 202.1 million was used to cover the needy
medical care. -- Antara
