Graft suspect Nunun Nurbaeti was transferred to Kramat Jati Police Hospital from MMC Hospital on Monday evening to receive further medical treatment.

“Her [Nunun's] blood pressure is pretty high, thus we transferred her to Kramat Jati Police Hospital,” Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) spokesman Johan Budi said as quoted by tempo.com.

Nunun was being questioned by the KPK on Monday, but after just one hour of questioning she complained about a headache and said she felt feint.

She is the key witness in a bribery case in Miranda S. Goeltom's election as Bank Indonesia senior deputy governor several years ago.

Taiwan hospital transplants 5 HIV-infected organs

Associated Press, Taipei | Mon, 08/29/2011 1:17 PM

One of Taiwan's best regarded hospitals transplanted organs from an HIV carrier into five patients, a hospital official said Monday, in what appears to be one of the most egregious examples of medical negligence in the island's modern history.

The five are now being treated with anti-AIDS drugs, said the official at National Taiwan University Hospital in Taipei.

The official spoke on condition of anonymity because she is not authorized to deal with the media.

In a posting on its website over the weekend, the hospital said the mistake occurred because a transplant staffer believed he heard the English word "non-reactive" on the donor's standard HIV test, which means negative, while the word "reactive" was actually given.

The hospital added that the information on the test result was given over the telephone and was not double-checked, as required by standard operating procedures.

"We deeply apologize for the mistake," the hospital said.

Shih Chung-liang, a Health Department official, said a department team will look into the mistaken transplants and decide on possible penalties for NTUH.
