Acute respiratory infection, hypertension, and headache were affecting Mount Merapi eruption survivors. The displaced people are so vulnerable to these diseases, an official of the Health Ministry Supriyantoro stated on Sunday, 7 November. Refugees received medical treatment at clinics set up inside the refugee shelters with serious cases despatched to local hospitals, the Mount Merapi refugees were not required to pay for medical treatment. 45 hospitals and more than 100 health centers were serving Mount Merapi eruption victims in the districts of Sleman, Klaten, Magelang and Boyolali, he said. But we (health workers) have difficulties in taking care of the refugees' health problems because many moved from one refugee shelter to another. Asked about the medical supplies for the refugees, especially those with serious burns, he said the supplies were not sufficient, but situation could still be handled and overcome.
