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)
