Decisions and Actions

The following decisions were made and agreed

  1. DATABASE

    • It was agreed that all parties would operate off a single database of Disaster Victims and also of the aid they have received.
    • This database would be maintained by Bali Hati for all "approved NGO's".
    • Data confidentiality is an issue at present this will be handled by only issuing reports from the database to requesting NGO's rather than establishing an Internet based system.
    • Approved NGO's will request Bali Hati for the information and then will pass back updates.
    • Individuals wanting to help were requested to work through an "approved NGO".
    • Bali Hati will draft a proposed set of guidelines regard use of the database

    Notes:
    • It was noted that the Governors office would like to be on the distribution list of data - to assist, not control.

  2. KUTA MEDICAL CENTER

    • Bali Hati's recommendation that a Medical Center was required urgently in Kuta for at least two years was accepted.
    • PARUM SAMIGITA - agreed to find a building
    • YKIP - agreed to look at undertaking fit out and equipping
    • Bali Hati - agreed to provide the core medical team to operate the center

    Notes:
    • Bali Hati estimates cost to fit out and equip an existing building is up to $300,000.
    • Bali Hati's estimates that there are up to 500 people possibly needing treatment - many of who have not been reached. Large numbers of people were discharged from hospital with still existing wounds such as embedded foreign objects and burns. These are being admitted to other hospitals. Some will need care for up to two years.
    • More analysis on the above is required. YKIP to followup.

  4. MEDICAL SUPPLIES

    • It was agreed that no more medicines were needed at this stage and should not be donated until current stocks were assessed and distributed.
    • YKIP advised that the Governor of Bali had issued a Resolution for the distribution of donated medicines over and above immediate requirements. If NGO's also had medicines they can give them to Sanglah for labeling, cataloguing, storage and redistribution. Aid requests can be requested via fax to Health Service Bali Province, Number 224102. The answer will be given in 24-hour maximum after the information received.
    • A copy of the resolution can be made available to interested parties.
