MAKASSAR, South Sulawesi: The government has allocated Rp 1
trillion (US$111 million) to provide free medical treatment for
the poor, Minister of Health Achmad Suyudi said here on Thursday.

"The fund is from the state budget and the amount could still
increase when the budget is revised in August 2004," he said.

Speaking at a national congress of the Indonesian
Anesthesiologists Association (IDSAI) in the South Sulawesi
capital of Makassar, Suyudi said the fund came from money earlier
set aside for fuel subsidies. --Antara
