Tangerang hospital has VIP pavilion

JAKARTA (JP): Tangerang regent H. Saifullah AR yesterday
inaugurated a VIP pavilion in the complex of the town's general
hospital.

The construction of the pavilion, called the Wijaya Kusuma
Pavilion, was jointly financed by the hospital and PT Menara
Mutiara. The private company invested Rp 1 billion in the
facility, built on a 6,000 meter plot of land.

Hospital sources told The Jakarta Post that the hospital and
the company will split profits from the pavilion for 10 years.
After 10 years the pavilion will belong to the Tangerang
administration, the sources said.

The pavilion has 31 fully air-conditioned VIP rooms which are
also equipped with television sets and telephones.

In his speech regent Saifullah hailed the construction of the
pavilion as part of the hospital's efforts to improve its medical
services to the public.

He said as a state-run hospital, the hospital should continue
to improve its medical and social services to the public.

"I have no doubt that the VIP rooms at the pavilion offer the
same comfort as those in private hospitals," Saifullah said.

On Dec. 15, 1993, the Tangerang general hospital was promoted
from category C to B by the ministry of health for its remarkable
improvements in medical services.

At present the hospital has 97 full-time doctors, including 46
specialists, and a total of 337 nurses. (18/bas)
