Reading 1

Today, Indonesia’s maternal mortality rate remains one of the highest in Southeast Asia. Experts
closely studying the problem generally conclude that a change in course is needed for Indonesia to make
further progress. First, there are questions about whether the government has the ability – or the
resources – to actually improve health. Performance and utilization of public health services is open the
decline, and the private sector is now the major source of health care in Indonesia. An estimated 20 – 50
percent of newborn deliveries in health facilities now take place in private clinics (as compared to
approximately 10 percent a decade ago). Preference for private sector services may be due, in part, to
understaffing of public health facilities, and high absenteeism. The government allows dual practice
whereby civil servant health providers are allowed to establish a private practice outside of official work
hours. As a result, experts’ 10 studies show an average of 40 percent of doctors absent from their public
post during work hours.

Overall, per capita spending on health in Indonesia is much lower than other countries in the
region, and insurance coverage is extremely limited. Health financing is overwhelmingly private – with
individuals paying for around 80 percent of all health outlay, mostly out-of-pocket disturbingly, the poor
utilize less of publicly-funded health services provided by the state : the poorest 20 percent of the
population 15 captures less than 10 percent of total public health subsidies, while the richest fifth
captures almost 40 percent. Policy analysts also point to added problems to health financing caused by
scant distributions in health funding among provinces and major inefficiencies in how funds are spent.

Scientist do not yet thoroughly understand just how the body of an individual becomes sensitive
to a substance that is harmless or even whole some for the average person. Milk, wheat, and egg for
example, rank among the most healthful and widely used foods. Yet these foods can cause persons
sensitive to them to suffer greatly. At first, the body of the individual is not harmed by coming into
contact with substance. After a varying interval of time, usually longer than a few weeks, the body
becomes sensitive to it, and an allergy has begun to develop. Sometimes it’s hard to figure out if you
have a food allergy, since it can show up so many different ways.

Your symptoms could be caused by many other problems. You may have rashes, hives, joint
pains mimicking arthritis, headaches, irritability, or depression. The most common food allergies are to
milk, eggs, seafood, wheat, nuts, seeds, chocolate, oranges, and tomatoes. Many of these allergies will
not develop if these foods are not fed to an infant until her or his intestines mature at around seven
months.

Breast milk also tends to be protective. Migraines can be set off by foods containing tyramine,
phenathylamine, monosodium glutamate, or sodium nitrate. Common foods which contain these are
chocolate, aged cheeses, sour cream, red wine, pickled herring, chicken livers, avocados, ripe bananas,
cured meats, many Oriental and prepared foods (read the labels!). Some people have been successful in
treating their migraines with supplements of B-vitamins, particularly B6 and niacin.

Children who are hyperactive may benefit from eliminating food additives, especially colorings,
and foods high in salicylates from their diets. A few of these are almonds, green peppers, peaches, tea,
and grapes. This is the diet made popular by Benjamin Feingold, who written the book Why your child is
30 hyperactive. Other researchers have had mixed results when testing whether the diet is effective.
