Head of the health ministry's crisis management center, Rustam S. Pakaya, said Monday Indonesia would send a 62-member medical and military team to help quake victims in Shincuan province, China.
The team is said to consist of officials from the health ministry, the National Defense Forces (TNI) and police officers, including doctors from Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital in Jakarta, RS Sadikin Hospital in Bandung and Dr Soetomo Hospital in Surabaya.<>
Logistical aid, Rustam added, will comprise five tons of medicines, four tons of food to supplement mother's milk and one ton of instant food.
The medical team and relief aid will be delivered by two C-130 Hercules cargo aircraft of the Indonesian Air Force.
"We have four Hercules cargo planes to support humanitarian operations in and outside the country. To carry humanitarian assistance to China, we are preparing two of the aircraft," said Air Commodore Chaeruddin Ray, head of the Indonesian Air Force's information service.
The Indonesian medical team would work in the quake-affected regions in China for one month, he said adding Indonesia's assistance was to reciprocate the helping hand China extended when Indonesia was hit by a devastating tsunami and earthquake in the recent past. (jp/dar)
