JAKARTA, Sun. --- Indonesia is scurrying to ready for a potential bird flu pandemic but health and animal husbandry officials warn they so far lack crucial resources. The Government has appointed 44 hospitals nationwide to treat bird flu patients and President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono said last week the Government was preparing a national monitoring system involving millions of people at village level. |
But officials on the ground complain they have not received funds or equipment from the central Government. The general hospital at Garut in West Java, about 200km southeast of Jakarta, had not received any extra funds or equipment since being named as one of the facilities treating bird flu patients, its head of medical services Wijayanti said. --- AFP. |
