Seminar on health to be held

JAKARTA: An international seminar on hospital management will
be held in November, organized by the German Indonesian Health
(GIH) working group set up late last year.

The seminar follows a cooperation agreement between Indonesia
and Germany reached during the Oct. 1996 visit of German
Chancellor Helmut Kohl and Economic Minister Guenther Rexrodt.

The working group was set up to facilitate further bilateral
cooperation on medical technology and health development. The
group also hopes to improve the two countries' human resources in
the field, and construct health facilities such as hospitals
dealing with heart-related diseases.

The seminar will discuss the management, economics and
modernization of Indonesian hospitals. (swe)
