UNFPA sends in childbirth supplies

JAKARTA: The United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) dispatched on
Friday trucks carrying 14 tons of childbirth equipment and
reproductive health supplies to Nanggroe Aceh Darussalam
province.

"The equipment is expected to provide pregnant women in Aceh
access with adequate treatment and to prevent any complications
that could endanger lives," UNFPA representative in Indonesia
Bernard Coquelin said.

He underlined that the need to secure reproductive health was
often overlooked after a disaster, and thus added to the death
toll instead. -- JP
