China donated $744,410 to the World Health Organization for the restoration of essential health service in Indonesia after 2004 tsunami

In 2005, the Government of China donated $744,410 to the World Health Organization (WHO) for Indonesia for the restoration of essential health services, including the establishment of blood banks, in response to the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami.

According to the WHO, the project aimed to "use a phased approach to assist the Government to restore the essential services previously provided by state health facilities at various levels, including public health, clinical, laboratory and rehabilitative, and minor surgical services.

Activities include training of medical staff, management of human resources for health, procurement of essential medical equipment and laboratory supplies, and support to repair and restore damaged equipment where appropriate." Loan applications and disbursements are still being received and processed as the projects continue to evolve.

Ongoing monitoring and evaluation are in place to ensure project continuity.
