A 54-strong medical team from the Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) was dispatched this afternoon in four Republic of Singapore Air Force (RSAF) C-130 aircraft to Indonesia, to provide medical aid to victims of the earthquake which hit West Sumatra on 30 Sep 09.

The SAF Medical Team, which included three doctors and four nurses from the Ministry of Health, will be working closely with the Indonesian National Defence Forces (TNI) and authorities, as well as international and non-governmental organisations (NGOs) to administer medical assistance to those affected by the earthquake. These include primary healthcare and surgery.
