REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, BANDAR LAMPUNG -- The Nepalese government, through the Health Emergency Operation Center of its Ministry of Health and Population, rewarded a doctor and two nurses from Indonesia for providing healthcare services to victims of the earthquake.
Speaking over the phone on his way to Jakarta from Nepal on Monday, Andreas Andoko, the Indonesian doctor who is also a member of the Humanitarian Forum of Indonesia, stated that the medical team delivered healthcare services to affected communities in Satungal village in Kathmandu.
"The Ministry of Health and Population of Nepal expressed their gratitude for the humanitarian aid provided by the Indonesian government. They gave a certificate to three Indonesian medical personnel as recognition," he said.
Andoko pointed out that 573 cases were handled by the Indonesian health post in Satungal village.
As the duty of the Indonesian medical team under the forum had ended, Andoko noted that they had already submitted a list of patients and the five highest cases handled at the Indonesian health post.
"We reported to the Foreign Medical Team for the last time before returning to Indonesia on Sunday afternoon. We also submitted a list of goods and drugs used to the health center in Satungal and the Nepalese army," he affirmed.
Andoko also pointed out that the three Indonesian medical personnel had been regarded as qualified and having worked well, based on their reports.
So far, Indonesia has sent humanitarian teams to help the thousands of victims in Nepal twice, after the country was hit by 7.9-magnitude earthquake.
The first team departed on April 28 under the coordination of the National Disaster Mitigation Agency (BNPB). They comprised personnel of the military, Ministry of Health and the BNPB.
They focused on providing on-field hospital services and delivering logistics.
The Nepalese government set Satungal village in Chandragiri district, Kathmandu, as the center of operations for the team from Indonesia, with their duty ending on May 25.
