GENERAL HOSPITAL OPENED IN ORASJE

( Editorial: --> 6476 ) ORASJE, Aug 28 (Hina) - A general hospital was opened in Orasje, a town in north-western Bosnia, on Thursday. A plate bearing the hospital's name was unveiled by the Health Minister of the Croat-Muslim Federation of Bosnia-Herzegovina Bozo Ljubic. The opening of the hospital in Orasje was, following the opening of one in Usora six months ago and one in Odzak a month ago, evidence of the people's wish to return to their pre-war homes, Ljubic said. The Orasje hospital should receive state-of-the-art equipment by year's end, to be financed by a donation from the Japanese government, he added. Hospital director Perica Jelecevic thanked Croatia's health employees and institutions which provided care for the inhabitants of the local region during the war. (hina) ha 281115 MET aug 98
