PAPUA - The Papua Provincial Government hopes that when the Draft Law (RUU) on the Omnibus Law can be followed by sufficient budgeting for health management on Earth of Cenderawasih.

Assistant for General Affairs of the Papua Regional Secretariat, Derek Hegemur, said this also concerns the spread of specialist doctors evenly in Papua.

"Because Papua has several endemic diseases such as malaria, HIV Aids, TB, lungs, heart disease and several types of disease and it must be treated immediately," he said in Jayapura, Papua, Monday, February 13, as reported by Antara.

He explained, on the other hand, Papua also still has limitations in terms of hospital infrastructure, thus through intervention by the central government, there will be the construction of health facilities and infrastructure or halls that can be spread throughout the district.

"Regencies that are the most prominent places of service for the community are very important to continue to be improved," he said.

Meanwhile, the Secretary of the Papua Provincial Health Office, Aaron Rumainum, said that the Health Bill is still a polemic because there are also several laws related to it, such as the medical practice law, then health, then nurses and health workers.

"So we, the Papua Provincial Government, hope that the Health Bill that is being discussed can accommodate all the aspirations of every professional organization," he said.
