Banda Aceh (ANTARA News) - Aceh Governor Irwandi Yusuf has earned a "Ksatria Bakti Husada" or the highest award in public health from the Health Ministry, a local official said.
M Yani, head of Aceh`s health office, said here Friday the award was to be presented to Irwandi Yusuf in Jakarta on Friday, November 12, 2010 on the occasion of National Health Day but the governor was too busy to come to the capital.
"The governor is too busy to go to Jakarta to receive the award so he will send a representative to the capital for the purpose," Yani said, adding that he got the information through a fax on Friday.
He said the governor got the award based on an evaluation conducted by a Health Ministry team in Banda Aceh several days ago.
"The team from Health Ministry office directly came to the field in Aceh to obtain first hand information about health services and free medical treatment through the Aceh Health Insurance program," he said.
He said three indicators evaluated by the team were related to malaria eradication effort, approach and service for people with mental disorders, and the Aceh Health Insurance program.
