LONDON, SENIN - Menteri Kesehatan Qatar Dr. Sheikha Ghalia membahas kemungkinan Indonesia mengirim lebih banyak lagi tenaga kesehatan seperti dokter dan perawat ke Qatar.

Hal itu terungkap pada pertemuan Menteri Kesehatan Qatar dengan Dubes RI Rozy Munir di Kantor Kementerian Kesehatan Qatar yang merupakan kementerian baru, belum lama ini, kata jurubicara KBRI Doha, Ahmad Sudradjat di London, Senin (17/11).

Menurut Ahmad Sudradjat, dalam pertemuan itu Dr Sheikha dan Dubes Rozy Munir membahas kemungkinan Indonesia mengirimkan lebih banyak lagi tenaga kesehatan ke Qatar. Sampai saat ini tenaga kesehatan Indonesia khususnya perawat yang bekerja di Qatar berjumlah 64 orang. Mereka bekerja di pusat kesehatan di bawah naungan perusahan minyak dan gas Qatar.

Dalam pertemuan tersebut, Dubes mengharapkan ada peluang tambahan bagi dokter dan perawat Indonesia di Qatar khususnya dalam kerangka peningkatan kerjasama antarkedua negara di bidang kesehatan.

Menkes Qatar menyambut baik keinginan tersebut. Dalam kaitan itu, dia pun akan mengirimkan delegasi untuk mengikuti 'workshop' kesehatan di Jakarta yang mengambil tema "Peluang dan Kesempatan kerja bidang kesehatan di kawasan Timur Tengah" pada Desember mendatang.

Menteri juga mengharapkan perlunya peningkatan kemampuan bahasa Inggeris dan Arab di kalangan calon tenaga kesehatan Indonesia yang akan dikirimkan ke Qatar. Dalam pertemuan yang berlangsung dalam suasana akrab itu Menteri juga mengungkapkan rasa kekagumannya terhadap potensi wanita Indonesia, karena banyaknya kaum wanita yang menjadi pejabat di kementerian, kabinet, di gubernuran, dan juga menjadi bupati di Indonesia.

Diakuinya di kawasan di Timur Tengah, kondisi tersebut belum dapat diterima secara baik, terutama oleh kalangan ulama konservatif.

Free antiretroviral (ARV) medication and patient care are now widely available in clinics throughout our programs. These local programs need highly experienced nurses, nurse practitioners, and medical doctors to mentor their colleagues in the identification of infected patients, the provision of comprehensive care including ART, and integration of HIV treatment into primary care. Assistance in the management of a busy, resource-poor clinic is also indispensable.

Experience working in a developing country is also helpful. We are looking for clinicians who have expertise in both didactic and practical teaching, as well as those with the management skills necessary to help a clinic become more efficient, capable, and ultimately self-sustainable in its ability to handle an increasing volume of HIV-infected patients.

- Develop a robust internal referral network within hospitals (e.g. TB, in-patient wards, maternal-child health) and a referral network from CHC to hospitals
- Increase the appropriate use of PMTCT as well as solidify PMTCT protocol
- Provide analysis to CHAI country team of possible interventions to improve care systems- Provide technical expertise on organization of work and task shifting

Context & Programme Summary:

- Over two million people are now thought to have been displaced since the commencement of hostilities in the Darfur region, many of whom continue to be in acute need of emergency assistance. These needs are further exacerbated by seasonal rains & food shortages due to interruptions of agricultural cycles. Developments at the peace process level may initiate population returns in certain areas, while other areas continue to experience displacement.

- Merlin has been working in Darfur since late 2004, and currently runs 3 projects across South Darfur. Merlin's primary health care interventions provide quality services through both static and outreach mobile clinic services. Activities increase community-level access to health care by establishing static primary health clinics in former mobile clinic locations, and starting new mobile sites where population movements indicate severe need. The programme will also extend health education: Merlin believes that preventive health care has significant impacts on health status. This is embedded in a context where Merlin collaborates closely with Sudan's Ministry of Health and other government agencies for material and human resource support for projects. The focus for 2008 will be the continuation of the primary health care provision within the areas we're already supporting with the addition of nutritional support on a CTC basis.
