South Sulawesi to improve health service

MAKASSAR, South Sulawesi: The local administration in
cooperation with Japan is to exchange doctors and health workers
in an attempt to improve public health services here as well as
to enhance the capabilities of provincial medical staff.

"During my last visit to Japan, I saw that we (South Sulawesi
and Japan representatives) had an opportunity to develop
relationship on health issues. And since my office has a strong
commitment to improving services on public health as well as
enhancing capabilities of our local doctors and health workers,
we both agreed to exchange medical staff members," South Sulawesi
deputy governor Syahrul Yasin Limpo said on Wednesday.

He, nevertheless, did not disclose the date and terms of the
program.

He added that cooperation on labor and administration was also
part of the discussions with Japan.

As part of the cooperation program, Japan had donated three
fire engines in September. -- Antara
