HAND IN HAND

The two countries sign

an agreement for the

HEALTHY TOGETHER healthcare sector

Indonesian and Dutch health experts set to collaborate

“To have a relatively sizable Indonesian community in

a city that is relatively not too large of a population is

in itself unique,” Mahendra Siregar, the Ambassador

of the Republic of Indonesia to the US, said about the

idea of opening Little Indonesia in New Hampshire.

THE NUMBER

When spoken

in Chinese,

the number 18

has a similar

pronunciation

to “definitely

get rich” and is

thus deemed

very lucky. It is

also the legal

age at which

you can drink

alcohol in

the UK.

MY FAVOURITE

THINGS

A certain famous

celebrity was seen

enjoying the less-than-

finer things in life when

they were spotted

dining at a local noodle

bar near their home.

Although this might not

mean they are moving

away from the fine-

dining scene, could

they be spotted again?

WRINKLE IN TIME

An older star has

been seen looking

fresher than usual

with a brighter

complexion and fewer

wrinkles when she

was spotted shopping

recently. Maybe it’s a

new diet, or maybe

it’s something a little

more substantial. Either

way, she looks great.

ndonesia and the netherlands

have a history of working together

both economically and socially.

Recently, both countries have

discussed cooperation in the

health sector, particularly in family

medicine, antimicrobial resistance,

and the health of the elderly. Health Minister

Nila Moeloek met with the Dutch Minister

of Health Services Bruno Johannes Bruins to

discuss national health programmes while

they were at the 72nd World Health Assembly

meeting in Geneva.

The Netherlands is well known for

delivering superior care to its citizens

through its family doctor programmes,

and Moeloek hopes that this can be

replicated in parts of Indonesia. The

first programme the ministers hope to

push is to promote the development of

three areas of cooperation, including

strengthening the health system with

a focus on medical care for the elderly;

control of infectious diseases, including

antimicrobial resistance; and global

health security.
