TRANQUILLIZERS MADE AVAILABLE FOR ELECTION LOSERS
Semarang, C Java, April 4 (ANTARA) - The health service in Pemalang district in Central Java has increased supply of tranquillizers for candidates who fail in the upcoming legislative elections on April 9.
The head of the health service, Erna Nuraini, said here on Saturday that the office was still distributing the medicines to 22 local community health care centers.
"Of course one needs to have a prescription in order to be able to obtain the medicine to assure that it will be used as prescribed," she said.
Among the tranquillizers made avialable are diozen tablets, phinobarbital tablets and amitriptyline.
She said the health service would handle people suffering from stress who asked for help including possibly legislative candidates who failed to become legislative members.
She said the patients would first be given the tranquillizers but if their condition remained it would refer them to a mental hospital (RSJ).
"We have indeed signed a memorandum of understanding with RSJ Amino Gondo in Semarang with regard to treatment of such patients. So, it will not be a problem even if the number of patients is increasing," she said.
She said her office would not compel them to be treated at the hospital if family members objected it. "They will only be referred to the hospital upon an agreement with their family," she said.
