1) Papua to build hospital for HIV/AIDS patients
The Jakarta Post, Jakarta | Archipelago | Mon, August 04 2014, 12:09 PM
The Papua provincial administration plans to build a hospital especially for the treatment of HIV/AIDS patients, an official has said.
"So far the treatment of HIV/AIDs patients has been discriminatory. There must be a hospital specifically to treat those infected by HIV/AIDS," head of the Papua Health Office Aloysius Giyai said in Jayapura on Monday as quoted by Antara news agency.
Papua is one of the country's regions most infected by the deadly disease.
"Patients had thus far received little attention, which was why the hospital had to be built for them,” he said.
“The location [for the project] has already been chosen,” Aloysius added. Construction is expected to begin in 2015.
“Not only AIDS/HIV positive patients, the specialized hospital will also be treating patients with leprosy and other diseases like 'frambusia' skin,” he said.
The Papua provincial administration also plans to build a general hospital in Jayapura. Construction of the general hospital will start after the construction of the HIV/AIDS hospital, Aloysius said. (hak/hhr)
