Sujudi inaugurates COT facility

Yogyakarta: Minister of Health Achmad Sujudi inaugurated last
Saturday Dr. Sardjito Hospital's new integrated Central Operating
Theater (COT), the third in the country after Dr. Soetomo Hospital
in Surabaya and Dr. Hasan Sadikin Hospital in Bandung.

Also attending the inauguration ceremony was Austrian
Ambassador to Indonesia Bernhard Zimburg, Director of Dr.
Sardjito Hospital Sri Endarini, and local government officials
and public figures.

The five-story COT building -- with room space totaling over
10,000 square meters -- occupies an area of some 3,250 square
meters at the southern end of the hospital complex near the
radiotherapy building.

That excludes some 830 square meters of basement floor and a
ground reservoir of some 311 square meters having a capacity of
600 cubic meters of water.

According to director of state-owned Dr. Sardjito Hospital Sri
Endarini, the Rp 37.24 billion COT building was financed from the
state budget.

The building's equipment and accessories including the medical
gas and electrical systems, ventilation and
air conditioning systems as well as the water heater, water
treatment, lift, telephone, and fire alarm and other systems
worth some Rp 348 billion were financed with a soft loan from the
Austrian government. --JP
