PT Freeport Indonesia has donated one mini ICU ambulance to the Mimika District Health Services as a token of support for the district population.

PTFI Director & EVP Social Responsibility & Community Development, Claus Wamafma, said in Timika on Monday that until now the cooperation between Freeport and the Mimika Regional Administration has been well established through educational, health, fishery programs et al.
