Indonesian Health Care System Rebuilt After Tsunami

IEGO is committed to bringing the best services possible to the women and children of this region,” concluded Mancuso.

Partners of JHIPEGO have been continually involved in improving the standard of community health centers and midwifery schools. Latest medical equipments have also been provided to ensure delivery of quality health care. Last but not the least, midwifery training (normal delivery care) has been provided to over 200 midwives, and free service vouchers distributed to women in camps.

The mobilization of financial help from three major private sector enterprises, Johnson & Johnson, ExxonMobil and UNOCAL, is further believed to strengthen the midwifery services in Aceh. Initiatives have already been made in three different villages (worst affected by Tsunami) to improve the working capacity of health care providers.

Zainal Abidin Hospital, the largest referral center in Aceh, has been provided with new medical equipments and the delivery ward has started to receive a lot of cases. ExxonMobil's will work towards empowering women with adequate knowledge and will provide appropriate technical training at North Aceh Health Academy.

The UNOCAL Foundation grant will contribute to the revitalization of Ingin Jaya Sub-district (Aceh Besar District). With such untiring efforts, Indonesia would soon be back to normal, at least in terms of providing health care services.
