JAKARTA (AFP) Sliding with short steps onto the stage in front of a crowd of students, academics and supporters, Indonesia's Health Minister Siti Fadilah Supari is in her element.
Supari is in charge of the response to bird flu in the country most heavily hit by the virus.

Since late 2006 Supari has refused to share all but a handful of Indonesia's virus samples with the World Health Organisation (WHO), saying Indonesia will only resume if the system is changed to give poor countries control over where their viruses go, and a share of any profits from vaccines.
A cardiologist before being handpicked in 2004 by President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono to fill a quota of four women in his cabinet, Supari is not a member of any political party, and is aloof from much of the jockeying of Indonesian politics.
Despite her anti-Western rhetoric, Supari has also frozen most Indonesian scientists out of access to virus samples, Subandrio said.

In the book, Dr Supari says the Indonesian victims of bird flu are martyrs whose deaths will help right injustices in the global health system.
Dr Siti Fadilah Supari says the management of global health issues favours what she calls neo-colonialist countries and criminals in the World Health Organization, who stand to profit from the vaccinations.
Semarang on November 7, was not carrying the H5N1 strain.
And Indonesian Health Minister Dr Siti Fadilah Supari has just published a book declaring the 50 year plus history of global influenza surveillance is part of a conspiracy by the developed world to control the rest of the world: "Developed countries become richer because they have the capability to develop the vaccine and control the world," she writes.

The nation's health minister Siti Fadilah Supari says before any bird flu specimens are sent to the WHO, Indonesia needs assurances that poorer nations will have affordable access to any pandemic vaccines developed from the virus and they are not only available to the rich.
