Additional Information / Shotlist 00:00 – 00:05
28 March 2019 marks the 6th month after the earthquake and tsunami that devastated Central Sulawesi, Indonesia.

00:05 – 00:08
MSF provided health services in four sub-districts in the province,

0:09 – 00:13
[Baluase, Central Sulawesi]
and built a temporary health facility in Baluase which continues to be used for medical services.

00:15 – 00:19
When MSF came and assessed the condition

00:19 – 00:21
of the Community Health Centre after the earthquake,

00:21 – 00:25
it was severely damaged.

00:25 – 00:29
We could not even enter the building.

00:30 – 00:36
MSF constructed a temporary building for us.

00:36 – 00:41
It took only about a week or two,

00:41 – 00:47
and then we moved here and we delivered our services from here.

00:48 – 00:55
Our health centre covers 12 villages.

00:55 – 01:05
It receives 20 to 30 outpatients per day

01:06 – 01:11
and 5 to 10 are admitted as inpatients daily.

01:12 – 01:16
The strength of this building is quite good.

01:16 – 01:20
For hospitalised patients, it is not too hot

01:20 – 01:25
because of the good ventilation.

01:26 – 01:31
The staff are also not bothered by the warm temperature here

01:31 – 01:33
due to the ventilation.

01:33 – 01:39
We use this building every day for our health services.

01:39 – 01:44
We conduct outpatient care and polyclinic for children here.

01:44 – 01:48
There is a pharmacy, and rooms for obstetrics,

01:48 – 01:52
emergency, and inpatients.

01:52 – 01:57
We also have a pantry where we can cook,

01:57 – 01:59
and there are also toilets.

01:59 – 02:04
We thank God that we were helped by this temporary building

02:04 – 02:06
built by MSF.

02:07 – 02:09
We are very grateful.

02:09 – 02:14
It is very useful for all of us and the people here.

02:14 – 02:23
In December 2018, the temporary health facility was turned over by MSF to the health office of Sigi District, Central Sulawesi.
