Bethesda, Sheepindonesia and second round

Tuesday June 13, 2006
Since I update yesterday, and I did not send the notification through e-mail list-apology for that, I will put some more information for today’s update.

Second report from Sheepindonesia
I have received second report from Yulia Rina Wijaya who works for Sheep Indonesia (http://www.sheepindonesia.org/) regarding their work in earthquake relief effort in Yogyakarta and surroundings. For detail report I did send to you through e-mail. Rina, Aan and Andreas Subiantoro were To-Canada Xroads as well. They are working so hard in helping people, even though their office is in bad damage from the devastations.

Progress at Bethesda Hospital.
Endang Budiarti send me an e-mail related with the situation of the hospital and earthquake victims patients. As the last information, on June 13, 2006, there are 3054 patients, 10 people waiting for the surgery, because it is so difficult case, dead 159, and there are 71 patients are not stay at the hospital, but go for check up sometimes. There were 314 patients get the surgery already. All service are free of charge.
There are some problems still around:
- Finance, the government (health authority) said that all the cost of the earthquake patients will be covered by the government, but the public health insureance said only the class III patients will be covered. This situation develop misunderstanding between the stakeholders.
-Logistic; a lot of medical tools, and other equipment are lost/gone/stolen/ because of the chaotic situation in the first week after the earthquake. The question is will government covered these cost as well?
- Will the electricity, water and telephone getting a discount from related department?
